Powerful to Take Part in Movie Premiere Event

October 5, 2008

President and co-director of Project OKURASE, Samuel Nkrumah Yeboah, also known as 'Powerful', has been asked to fly out to Los Angeles, CA for the release of the major motion picture, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Dreamworks Animation would like Powerful and his mentor, Kobina Boni, to lead a workshop and perform for the attendees of the premiere event.

Madagascar, a computer-animated production, was the number one family-friendly comedy in the US when released in 2005, and the sequel, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, is highly anticipated. It will be playing in US theaters beginning on November 7, 2008 and is to host the same cast of characters as the original film. The plot, however, will take place not in a zoo or on an island as in the original film, but the animals will land in the wild of Africa and confront new adventures and new faces.

The Project OKURASE team is excited about this opportunity and is celebrating how far the project has come, and more importantly, what opportunities the future holds that will further their mission and purpose.
