Heist of Benin. A new film by Ava DuVernay and David Oyelowo. Coming soon. DuVernay said: “Reuniting with David in this way feels full circle. This film speaks to history, identity and love, all through the lens of a high-stakes, modern adventure. I’m thrilled to bring it to life with him and Studiocanal.” “Ava and I have been looking for the right story to tell together again,” Oyelowo added. “Heist is that story. It’s thrilling and high-powered with deeply resonant themes that matter to us both.” https://lnkd.in/gzJRpnHw
