Harmattan Run
One road. One night. No way back. A dispatch rider has one night to carry a sealed parcel from Ibadan to the coast while the harmattan closes the roads.
Synopsis
The story
Kunle Ajala has ridden the Lagos to Ibadan expressway more times than he can count. When a stranger pays him triple to carry a sealed parcel to the coast before dawn, he says yes before he asks a single question.
Then the harmattan comes down like a curtain. Visibility drops to a few metres, the toll plazas close, and two cars he has never seen start following his headlamp through the dust.
Shot on real roads across Oyo and Ogun over three dry seasons, Harmattan Run is a lean, loud chase with very little dialogue and a lot of engine. Best seen on the Sapphire Grand screen, where the sound of the bike moves around the hall.
