Music Superstar Tiwa Savage Makes Acting Debut In ‘Water and Garri’

A cinematic content featuring Nigeria’s leading female music superstar, Tiwa Savage, is due to debut on Amazon Prime Video this year.

Titled Water and Garri, the movie is a production of Everything Savage and Unbound Studios and will see the debut of the award-winning star known for her soulful voice and hit songs.

Directed by Meji Alabi, Water and Garri joins Prime Video Nigeria’s expanding slate of rich Nollywood content including Gangs of Lagos, LOL: Last One Laughing Naija and SHE Must Be Obeyed as a great way to begin 2024.

The drama tells the story of Aisha (Savage), an ambitious fashion designer, as she returns to her native country following the loss of a family member after she has been away for 10 years away in the United States.

With changes having taken place at home, including escalating violence and building tensions, Aisha must learn to live with her scars and confront the guilt she left behind while reconnecting with family, old friends, and her past love.

Filmed in neighbouring Ghana, the cinematic feature presents a great blend of cinematography and storytelling while also starring talented stars like Mike Afolarin (Far From Home), Andrew Bunting (Dynamite), and Jemima Osunde (New Money).

“Audiences around the world are looking for well-made, contemporary African stories, and Water and Garri delivers that with a fresh perspective,” Ayanna Lonian, Director, Content acquisition at Prime Video, said.

“Both Meji Alabi, as film director, and Tiwa Savage, as the lead, have truly delivered a stellar debut alongside the rest of the incredibly talented cast and crew,” she added.
