Multiple award winning Nigerian-born but Canada/USA –based filmmakerPascal Atuma(LAPD African Cops, My American Nurse, Bloodlinesetc.) is the Writer & Director of the film. The Producers are Stella Albright – Bruce, June Slaton – Bruce, Dr. Oscar Atuma and Pascal Atuma. GONE TO AMERICAthe film is Executive Produced by the Silverbird Group.
The movie boasts a star-studded cast such as -Ali Baba, FunkeAkindele, Steve Onu
popularly known as Yaw, Ini Edo, JideKosoko, Funky Mallam, EniolaBadmus, IyaboOjo,
Francis Odega, Anita IfeomaIsedeh otherwise known as Omalicha, Yvonne Jegede,
Ben Nwosu, Nora Roberts, Rich Tanksley, andAmerican
music legend Jeffrey Daniels from
the famous Shalamar group and presently Judge/Directing Talent Manager of the Nigerian Idol. The movie also features
upcoming stars Bridget Chigbufue,Abraham

The
movie is about Okoro, a simple gateman who was going through the trials of the
lowest class of working class families in Nigeria. He was indebted to his
landlord to the extent where he was dehumanized, lost a right to his privacy
and could no longer enjoy the quietness of his home. Battling with sleepless
nights, an opportunity, out of the blues presented for him to travel to
America, courtesy of a green card lottery entered for him by his long-term
master’s nephew. America, the land of the free and home of the brave beckons… but
alas it is Donald Trump’s America with some strong-faced, nonsense Immigration
officers, ready with their batons to defend the gateway to their great land by
‘any means necessary’! The comedy and fiasco that ensures between Okoro and
these immigration officers, and whether he succeeds in getting through
immigration isbetter seen than told. ‘Gone to America’ is a humorous take on naïve
immigrants whose dreams are set on arriving to America in search of greener
pastures,but have to contend with Post-Trump policies.
The
movie is set to screen in cinemas nationwide from 10th November
2017. It is being marketed and distributed by Silverbird Distribution Limited.

Pascal Atuma is trying but movies production and acting is not by force. Even with all the resources at his disposal, he keeps churning out mediocre productions. Good scripts sometimes but very poor acting.
Nice 1 our common sense senator
When will 9ja nollywood/ibowood get things right and stop all this room and parlor movies....even Indian have upgraded to blockbusters movies smh
Have you seen the movie already? Demonic agents looking forward to condemn the creativity of others. Pascal is indeed master of the game. I have followed is movies in Canada.
I wonder how some of us reason. We attach sentiment to everything in life. The truth is the gurus in Nigerian films, stars are in the film. Gone to America, I believed is a movie that is absolutely going entertain, educate and enlighten us. My family and I are visually prepared to enjoy the movie. Thumbs to Pascal Atuma, Ben Bruce and the acting crews.
