- Directed by Bolaji Kekere-Ekun in 2012 and produced by Nkechi Bakare of 37thSTATE, the short film delves further into the mystery of the legend of the Mami Water.
Shot in a style reminiscent of the Hollywood urban legend genre, and scored by award-winning Hollywood music composer Austin Wintory, Nkiru is the director's fun perspective on an age-old African tale of love and sacrifice. Based on the African urban legend of Mami Wata, the short-film centers around a group of friends who disappear from a beach party under mysterious circumstances.
Mermaid myths can be found in a myriad of cultures all over the world, inspiring interesting and captivating stories. Both Nkiru and the preceding documentary Lady in the Water offer an entertaining and eye-opening deeper dive into this international phenomenon in narrative film and documentary format, respectively. Viewers are encouraged to check out the Lady In The Water documentary as a prelude to Nkiru.
Nkiru and its director Bolaji Kekere-ekun were one of 5 projects featured on 'Touching Base', an MTV mini-documentary series highlighting Africa's most inspiring entrepreneurs.

I'm from America, and you know how most of us like to act. But this is real studio quality acting. Even the supporting cast was awesome. I'm learning about Mami Wata and looking forward to seeing more. When in just this small depiction of her I've learned so much. Thank you and please give us more💖💖💖💖🌍🌍🌍
Thank you! There is more on this channel just check the videos
...great work of visual art...I'm waiting the full version and sequel!!!
I would like to see more also, especially on on the same subject. Well done the Mami Wata was striking loved her hair style. Shame about the weaves attached to some of the other women.
Awesome!! We need more!
Great film. Deep and evocative. Love it! Would like to see more of your work.
yaaaaaayeeeeee......nice short film...i Love it :)
I'm to excited to just sit down and watch!!!!!
Nice short film. I really liked the young lead actress. She is very pretty and talented.. The music was really good, and the male lead gave a strong performance too.
Excellent guys I love this more more more :)
Man... that was REALLY GOOD!!! I prefer THIS to the over-the-top Nollywood movies where they exagerate things to a whole new dimension😂
Congratulations to whoever made this film. It is PURE AFRICAN ART👌👍👏
Thank you!
@@37thSTATE please make more of these🙏🙏🙏🙏

Amazing!!!
Pretty cool Short Film... Thanks.
Fresh. when is a longer movie coming?
Wow.
What is the songs
Wow, real good short. It was the colours. In the documentary, a woman says don't wear red, white is good, do good etc. That's what caught my eyes, the clothes the actors were in. So, this Mami Wata who wears red, is indeed bad? Or she just wants sacrifices? The leads Mother? Did she want to be a sacrifice or was she begging the lead woman not to sacrifice? Well done.
They are ALL bad. Don't fall for it.
Where is the rest
Mami Wata always gets her sacrifices. That's why people drown at the beach, lose jewelry, money and other precious items. The Gods will always be served. 👁❤️️😈👨🏽🌟⚡️🌞
aaaah is that it? I want more was so interesting wanted to see what happens to the people.
Ah my bad. There's a second film on the channel that is loosely related. A detective on a mami wata's trail. Maybe that might help! It's called 'Call Me By My Name'
Please who remembers this old mami wata movie"Alero”?
What is mama wata
What is it with the weave _ wigs in these movies....why blk ppl don't love their natural hair???
EXACTLY
A much better question would be when there is so much presented in the film why are minds trained to focus on the hair?
Siren mermaid spirit
@@quiqui_m283 where can I read up on this.... Is it real?
Isn't there supposed to be a large serpent accompanying the figure of her body?
pointless is an understatement
???
Is Lilith Mami Wata
No
...
Why make Mami evil smh, worst then the European concept of our ANCIENT ANCESTRAL MOTHERS AND FATHERS SMH
This is just a fun short film. There’s a documentary on this same channel that explores all sides of mami wata for people that are looking for a more in depth study
Why is it, all Africa talks about is spirits, and water kingdom....but catching hell from the European in Africa???
