by Matt Tamanini - Aug 27, 2014

Iceslide Films, in conjunction with Wells Entertainment Ltd., presents the release of the epic period film, 'INVASION 1897.' The sweeping historical drama is based on the 1897 invasion of the great Benin Kingdom by the British, who then carted off more than 3,224 pieces of Benin arts and artifacts, which, to date, still occupy museums around the globe. The film was produced and directed by award-winning director Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, who has been on a worldwide campaign to build support for the movie, and awareness of the issues it raises.
