\nIn the first quarter of next year Tarila Thompson\u2019s film Up Creek without a Paddle will premiere in cinemas around the world. Currently undergoing post production process in South Africa, England and Bulgaria, the filmmaker told Arts Lounge that the film \u201ctells the story of the Niger-Delta militants\u2019 struggle in raw details as witnessed by inhabitants of the communities\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shot for over a six-month period at several locations in the jungles and creeks of Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers and Lagos states, as well as Berlin in Germany, it features Omotola Jolade-Ekehinde, Van Vicker, Patience Ozokwor, Ernest Asuzu and Eddie Ugbomah, among many other Nollywood greats.<\/p>\n

The film directed by Thompson, who also plays the role of Diongoli, features over 1,000 indigenes of the Niger-Delta including ex-militants. Describing Up Creek without a Paddle as \u201cthe next big film out of Africa\u201d, Thompson also revealed it parades a long list of foreign actors and crew among them; Germany\u2019s Jean Denis Roman, South Africa\u2019s Andrew McKenzie and Bulgaria\u2019s Miloskeiv Metodi.<\/p>\n

An expose on the ills and politics of the multinationals against the inhabitants in the Niger- Delta region of Nigeria, the film tells the story of Diongoli who like other grassroots young men acquires the fundamental educational qualification but is denied employment by the oil firms. He finds to his chagrin that he is not alone as the whole community suffers in one way or the other under the weight of the activities of the multinationals. He starts a militant group to agitate for development of the region.<\/p>\n
