Pearls Of Africa – A Unique Portrayal of Kenyan Romance

Sharon Agina is one busy director, dotting the European and African continents producing and drumming up support for her pivotal film ‘Pearls of Africa’ which should be scheduled for release sometime  later this year.

In June last year, British actors Neil Reidman and Kevin Leslie flew into the country alongside actress Kenyan actress Lizz Njagah to shoot the film ‘Pearls of Africa’ which is a rivetting and passionate story based on real events.

The Plot Summary of ‘Pearls of Africa’ is as follows:

“Kenya in the late 1970s; the country is in a period of transition and recovery from the legacy of British Colonialism. Racism and prejudice are rampant between native Kenyans and white settlers.

Like most young women growing up in Kenya at this time, eighteen-year-old Tess Jagger leads a tough life. Tess however wants something different and, with the help of her mother, Minwa, and her grandmother Danni, fights for her and her sisters’ right to an education.

In the UK, twenty-year-old Aaron Rhys has just dropped out of university in London, much to the disappointment of his father, the British construction giant John Rhys. Aaron decides to go abroad to gain real experience of the world. He plans to work for his father’s most recent acquisition, the Road Construction Company, in the jungle of Kisumu, Kenya. 

Tess’ and Aaron’s lives intersect and their worlds collide. Unaware of local custom and culture, Aaron pursues Tess. Then the trouble starts… with the whole community ranged against them.”

The award winning cast is sure to be some welcome spice to the feature, with Lizz Njagah currently based in Nigeria and a star on DSTV’s popular soap opera Tinsel. Neil Reidman has starred in productions such as Dr. WHO and Casualty.
