History was made this evening as the highly anticipated political thriller \u201977: The Festac Conspiracy held its star-studded World Premiere at the International Conference Centre in Lusaka, Zambia. Serving as an anchor event for the Africa Creative Market (ACM) 2026, marking the first time the prestigious cross-continental market has expanded outside of Nigeria. The premiere delivered a powerful blend of deep political intrigue and a roaring celebration of Pan-African identity.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere was electric as screen icons Rita Dominic and Ramsey Nouah stunned on the red carpet, sparking a massive social media frenzy and a completely sold-out venue. Directed by Izu Ojukwu, the sequel to the 2016 masterpiece \u201976 was a resounding success. The event solidifies Zambia\u2019s rising status as a formidable hub for African entertainment tourism while proving the boundary-breaking commercial power of African history on screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see the explosive warmth and energy from our Zambian family tonight proves that African stories know no borders,\u201d said Rita Dominic during a post-screening address. \u201cThis premiere wasn\u2019t just about a movie; it was a celebration of our shared history, our shared culture and the booming future of African cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith \u201977: The Festac Conspiracy, we are going deeper into history, but with even more cinematic power,\u201d stated Executive Producer Prince Tonye Princewill. \u201cThis film is a cultural reckoning and a global statement about where African cinema is headed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the night\u2019s triumph, producers hinted at a massive Homecoming Premiere happening soon. The highly anticipated event will bring the blockbuster home to Lagos, the very city where the historical FESTAC \u201977 took place for an unforgettable nationwide celebration before its wider theatrical rollout.<\/p>\n
