    The upcoming movie by Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin titled Ibrahim Traoré: The Last African Hero has sparked debate even before its release, with many questioning its intent and political undertones.

    Amid the growing concerns, renowned Ghanaian movie director and producer Jackson K. Bentum, who is behind the project, has come forward to clarify the purpose and vision behind the film.

    In an exclusive interview with Sean City TV, hosted by Ruthy and Busumuru Sean Kingston, Jackson K. Bentum disclosed that he personally wrote the script and handed it over to Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, for production.

    According to Bentum, Lilwin was the perfect fit for the story’s direction and impact.

    “When I completed the script, I knew Lilwin was the ideal person to bring this story to life,” Jackson K. Bentum stated.

    However, the movie has not been without controversy. Some critics argue that Ibrahim Traoré: The Last African Hero appears to glorify military coups at a time when West Africa is grappling with democratic instability.

    Addressing this concern, Bentum firmly stated that the intention was never to suggest that coups are good.

    “We are not saying coups are good. That is not what this movie is about. The story is centered on leadership and impact. Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s leadership in Burkina Faso has brought a sense of renewed hope and sovereignty to the people,” he indicated.

    Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who became the leader of Burkina Faso following a coup on September 30, 2022, has become a symbol of anti-imperialist sentiment and youth-driven reform in the country.

    At just 34 years old at the time of his rise to power, Traoré became the world’s youngest head of state. He overthrew Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, promising to restore security and national dignity.

    Under Traoré’s leadership, Burkina Faso has sought to break away from France’s influence, strengthen ties with Russia, and build local economic resilience. While his regime has received praise from some quarters for its bold stance on self-reliance and internal reforms, others have criticized it for rising authoritarian tendencies and ongoing insecurity challenges.

    While a release date has not yet been announced, Bentum and Lilwin hope the film will ignite conversations about leadership, independence, and the future of Africa.
