From the director
‘In iRedu’ is a 12 min dramatic short film based on an excerpt from the classic Shakespeare play, Macbeth. The excerpt scene is Macbeth’s meeting with the 3 witches of Fife.
My interpretation is based in a fictional African country with 4 main tribes – the North, The South, the East and the West. Ogagun, a general from the western region meets up with the three witches in iRedu to find out what the future holds for him.
