"In the epic fantasy world of Orisha, a young woman goes on a quest to reclaim the magic that was violently stolen from her people," the logline reads. "She and her brother ally with the daughter and son of the king to fight back against his brutal rule."
The film was shot in various locations across the African continent. Prince-Bythewood wanted to give the actors a real-life backdrop to adapt the novel into a grounded film, even with magical elements. (ANI)
