Award-winning filmmaker and actor Raz Adoti is set to reach an even wider audience as his action drama Son of the Soil prepares for its Netflix debut. Following a strong run in cinemas, the film will begin streaming across Africa on Netflix from March 1.
The transition from theatrical release to a continental streaming platform marks a significant step for the production. Having drawn attention in cinemas for its pacing and grounded storytelling, the film now moves into homes across the region, expanding its footprint and accessibility.
Son of the Soil centers on a former special forces soldier who returns to his roots, only to find himself pulled into a violent confrontation with a criminal network threatening his community. The narrative blends personal conflict with broader social themes, presenting an action-driven story shaped by distinctly African settings and sensibilities.
The production is notable for its disciplined stunt choreography, tight combat sequences, and a cast assembled with both screen presence and physical credibility. At its core, the film is built around themes of loyalty, justice, and the cost of confronting entrenched power.
Its arrival on Netflix underscores the growing appetite for African action cinema and the increasing visibility of locally produced stories on global platforms. For industry observers, the release represents more than a streaming date. It signals continued momentum for Nigerian-led productions seeking cross-border audiences.
With March 1 approaching, viewers across Africa will have the opportunity to experience Son of the Soil on demand. For the cast and crew, it is both a continuation of the film’s journey and a milestone in its broader cultural reach.
