Dark Path is a gripping Nollywood drama set to premiere on July 25, 2025, directed by the acclaimed duo Adebayo Tijani and Femi Adebayo. The film follows the emotionally charged journey of Yetunde, a young woman grappling with the haunting loss of her brother and the heavy responsibility of caring for her aging parents.
As Yetunde, played by award-winning actress Yetunde Adeyemi (Yetibae), navigates the painful terrain of grief and family obligation, she dares to chase her long-suppressed dreams. But every step forward leads her down a road riddled with sacrifice, moral conflict, and unforgiving choices. At its heart, the film asks a searing question: How far would you go when everything is on the line?
Backed by a stellar ensemble cast including Sola Sobowale, Broda Shaggi, Muyiwa Ademola, Femi Adebayo, and Bolaji Ogunmola, Dark Path is a masterclass in emotionally resonant storytelling. Known for their ability to fuse cultural richness with powerful drama, the directors deliver a cinematic experience that is both raw and deeply human.
The film’s dialogue weaves seamlessly between English and Yoruba, speaking directly to both local Nigerian audiences and diaspora viewers worldwide.
Dark Path will have its world premiere in Toronto, Canada, before rolling out across major Nigerian cinemas including Silverbird Cinemas in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, and beyond. Anticipation is high among both film critics and fans, especially following Yetunde Adeyemi’s recent win as Best Nollywood Actress in the Diaspora. The actress has called this project one of the most personal and defining of her career.
