A prophecy powerful enough to turn brother against brother.
Gbolahan Obisesan delivers an award-winning adaptation of Chigozie Obioma’s celebrated novel following two Nigerian brothers who relive the moment their family was irrevocably fractured after a dangerous prophecy.
While their father is away, they secretly fish in a forbidden river and encounter a local prophet who foretells that the eldest will die at the hands of one of his brothers. Suspicion spreads. Childhood adventure turns to paranoia. Words take on the force of fate.
The Fishermen explores how belief can reorder identity – and how the fear of what might happen can begin to make it so.
