The project, “Sadé,” will follow the story of a young princess who saves her kingdom using magical powers. The movie will focus on a young African girl called Sadé who, when her kingdom is in danger, recognizes her newly discovered magical warrior powers to protect herself and her people. With the assistance of the kingdom’s prince, Sadé gets on an adventure that will let her embrace what makes her unique and save the kingdom from evil forces. The screen-play is written by Ola Shokunbi and Lindsey Reed Palmer. Moreover, Famuwiya will produce and Scott Falconer will executive produce through their Verse production banner.
