"Ekundayo" is a story about two young teenagers in Sierra Leone, Ekundayo and Obi, who are kidnapped by a rebel guerilla group, initiated and brutalized into becoming vicious child soldiers. Obi becomes a killer but Ekundayo grieves for all of the lives that are lost. During a village raid, Ekundayo encounters a girl from his past and realizes that a better future beyond the life of the guerilla army awaits them. As they attempt to flee for the safety of a UN refugee camp, Obi is sent out to track down and kill his old friend. "After reading the treatment for 'Ekundayo', I knew that it was a story that needed to be brought to life," said Shokof. "In many of my films I like to bring forth the harsh reality of life, the struggle, the hurt, the pain. I want my films to touch the audience and to show them that we, as people, can rise above, just as we are doing with my upcoming film 'Moon and 8.'" "Moon and 8" is an upcoming 3D action/adventure film in the spirit of "Independence Day," "The Day After Tomorrow" and "The Impossible," End
