The Madawaki was a strong opposition to Princess Amina, and a threat to her father, Barkwa Turunku, the Sarki. As she grew into a fearless warrior entangled in love with the enemy, every other major plot revolved around Amina fulfilling her destiny and ascending her throne in Zazzau.Amina is a feature film made with collaborations that spanned three continents of Africa, Europe and America. In the period drama, the director employed a linear narrative .
According to Ogunjiofor, the cast was engaged in pre-production training where they were first camped for three months and trained on how to ride horses, and use swords to fight on horsebacks, before commencing shoot proper. One of the things the film gets right is the production design, especially in scenes set in the bygone era, with tastefully-done recreations of the 16th century.Moreso, several ancient buildings made of muds and stones were constructed on the location, to look exactly like Queen Amina’s palace, as was applicable in the 16th century.
The Nollywood starlet has featured in some Kannywood movies like ‘Braids on a Bald Head’, ‘Bariga Sugar’, and many others. She was, however, a class act in the movie which was demanding and required her pulling several stunts. Not many know that the 57-year-old veteran actress, who hails from Anambra State, is very fluent in Yoruba and Hausa languages.The veteran actress, who seems to be selective about the roles she plays, played a spontaneous role in Amina, which seemed almost like second nature..Although the makers of ‘Amina’ have included enough scenes to defend themselves against accusations of not showcasing Amina’s military prowess, it’s not enough. The loopholes are still glaring.
