‘Shanty Town,’ written by Xavier Ighorodje and Donald Tombia, follows a group of courtesans attempting to flee the clutches of a notorious kingpin. Political corruption and blood ties make escape nearly impossible.
Chidi Mokeme stars as the lead in the Chinenye Nworah-produced film, which also stars Richard Mofe-Damijo, Sola Sobowale, Shaffy Bello, Ini Edo, Uche Jombo, Nse Ikpe-Etim, and Toyin Abraham.
