Duala Duala: “L’axe Lourd is the project for me considering the fact that I am one of the writers. It has a story that keeps you locked-in till the end with anxiety, adrenaline, empathy & violence. Set in a fictional country in 2035 which is also a year to reckon as the promised year, the story is wrapped around the intricacies of African culture and politics.
The project (L’axe Lourd) will announce to the world that Cameroon is ready for higher levels of entertainment and that we have actors and cinematographers who can transcend borders”.
