This one is a collaborative effort by a host of talented actors many of whom work with family members in drama groups that have dominated the screen and production houses for years. The most popular of these is probably Theatre La Bonita and VCR Studios. Others Were created and merged much later. In the sixties and seventies the themes that dominated the stage were mainly political and cultural. The drama groups were as important as they would have been in other centers of power. Functioning to keep the royal house laughing and communicating tough subjects. Many production houses have sprung up from these groups and after years of performance many have become household names.
Nantaba is about a goddess who rules an Island. She is served by men and will not tolerate the presence of women.
We expect quite a clash when a stranger uses a groups of women (innocently plying their street trade) into his house where he manages to capture them. Will they escape his grasp. Will the culturally frightening host accept these new guests? What will happen to the adherents of her faith when confronted with these issues.
In two parts this one should also be fun to watch. The graphics work is impressive as is the choice of sets for production. This film gives you an insiders view in the hidden world of traditional religion and uses current events to question ideas that abound about faith and practice and tradition.
