The plot of ‘Living in Bondage: Breaking Free,’ tells the story of Nnamdi, Andy Okeke’s mysterious son, and his unbridled quest for the “big life” that pushed him into a perilous journey.

‘Living in Bondage’, acclaimed to be the movie that chronicled Nollywood’s journey to prominence, is a 1992 Nigerian two-part drama thriller film.

The film was shot straight-to-video and produced in Igbo, and starred Okonkwo and Nnenna Nwabueze in their breakout roles.

Andy met the demands of the cult and eventually became very rich; however, the nemesis that unfolded became the intrigues that define his ‘Living in Bondage.’
