The movie was a part of the top 10 selected from over 500 submissions according to a post made by the Wizzy Empire boss.
In the post made on August 18, 2025, via Instagram, Lilwin described the recognition as a triumph not only for himself but for Ghanaian cinema.
The movie directed by Jackson K. Bentum, chronicles the rise of Burkina Faso’s Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who assumed power through a coup on September 30, 2022.
Beyond documenting his leadership, the film portrays Traoré as a symbol of youth-driven reform and anti-imperialist resistance—an angle that has resonated strongly with audiences across Africa.
