- The production of the highly anticipated crime drama, ABAKWA, has wrapped up, with the film set to premiere later this year. Directed by Song Nestor and based on a true story, ABAKWA explores the devastating effects of an illegal drug made from human bones called "Kayouk." The story centers on a former crime lord who, haunted by his past, seeks redemption by repairing the community he once destroyed. After serving 35 years in prison, he teams up with a law enforcement officer to dismantle a criminal syndicate involved in human trafficking, rape, and the production and distribution of Kayouk. This mission offers him a chance to right the wrongs of his past. ABAKWA is more than just a movie; it is a visceral exploration of the devastating consequences of drug abuse and a poignant tribute to the resilient spirit of the people of Bamenda, popularly called Abakwa. The gripping narrative not only highlights the scourge of drug abuse but also underscores the universal dangers of illicit activities, making it a must-watch for education and awareness purposes across Africa and the world. "Our motivation behind writing this movie was to shine a light on the struggles and triumphs of the people of Abakwa and the negative effects of the Kayouk drug," said co-writers Roy Amabo and Song Nestor. "While the film is set in Cameroon, the dangers of drug abuse and illicit activities portrayed are universal."

- In The Colonial Misunderstanding Jean-Marie Teno sheds light on the complex and problematic relationship between colonization and European missionaries on the African continent. The film looks at Christian evangelism as the forerunner of European colonialism in Africa, indeed, as the ideological model for the relationship between North and South even today. In particular it looks at the role of missionaries in Namibia on the centenary of the 1904 German genocide of the Herrero people there. It reveals how colonialism destroyed African beliefs and social systems and replaced them with European ones as if they were the only acceptable routes to modernity. As Prof. F. Kangué Ewané says in the film: "I can forgive Westerners for taking away my land ...but not for taking away my mind and soul." Through an examination of the work of German missionary societies in Africa whose vocation was to bring Christianity - and by extension, European culture and European rule - to the heathens, Jean Marie Teno reveals The Colonial Misunderstanding.
