About Elesin Oba: The King’s Horseman

After his king dies, a horseman must sacrifice himself to serve his ruler in the afterlife but sudden distractions lead to unexpected tragedy. This 2022 Yoruba-language Nigerian historical drama, directed by Biyi Bandele, is based on Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman.
