From Ibrahim Traore to King Mswati: Lilwin and filmmaker Jackson K. Bentum to shoot biopic on Eswatini monarch
Ghanaian actor Liwiin and celebrated Kumawood director Jackson K. Bentum recently met with a member of King Mswati III’s entourage, believed to be one of the Eswatini monarch’s sons, during his visit to Ghana.
In a short but engaging conversation, Lilwin introduced the young royal to a Kumawood film and proudly presented Bentum as the creative force behind some of Ghana’s most iconic local movies.
During their chat, Bentum seized the moment to pitch an idea he had long been developing—a biographical film on King Mswati III, who famously became the world’s youngest ruling monarch at age 18.
“I’m working on your father’s story. I’ve been working on it for years,” Bentum revealed.
