Synopsis

The story behind House of Ga’a.

House of Ga’a is a gripping historical drama rooted in Yoruba history, power and ambition. The film explores the rise and influence of Bashorun Ga’a, a formidable political figure whose authority shaped the destiny of the Oyo Empire.

At the heart of the story is a world of royal power, betrayal, loyalty, conquest and consequence. As Ga’a’s influence grows, the line between leadership and tyranny becomes increasingly blurred, revealing the dangerous cost of unchecked ambition.

With rich cultural detail, intense drama and strong historical atmosphere, House of Ga’a examines how power is gained, protected and ultimately challenged. It is a story of legacy, fear, family, politics and the forces that determine the fall of great men.
