KING KOSOKO is more than an epic film — it is a sweeping, timely account of power, succession, and survival in the ancient city of Lagos.
Produced in Nigeria, the movie chronicles the dramatic transition from one reign to the next, even as the bona-fide heir is denied access to his late father's throne.
From the earliest challenges to the inevitable tussles and battles for kingly authority, KING KOSOKO explores how the struggle for kingship reverberates far beyond palace walls, affecting the people, unsettling communities, and reshaping life on the land itself.
This is a story that lingers. It doesn't simply entertain — it stays with you.
Marked by intensity and depth, this is the kind of film that earns its reputation as an evergreen: a narrative built to endure across generations.
The film is presented in honour of the late Taiwo Hassan (Ogogo).
