An authentic capturing of Lagos: The team behind Disney's Iwájú on creating the groundbreaking show

News24's Leandra Engelbrecht attended the junket and world premiere of Disney's Iwájú, where she spoke to the creative team from Kugali about the groundbreaking new show.

"There's a story" is the first response I get when inquiring about how the collaboration between Walt Disney Animation Studios and entertainment company Kugali came about to create the groundbreaking series Iwájú.

Described as a 'first-of-its-kind collaboration' – Kugali is the first African production company to collaborate with the studio – the series set in a futurist Lagos, Nigeria, follows Tola, a young girl from a wealthy island, and her best friend, Kole, a self-taught tech expert, as they discover the secrets and dangers hidden in their different worlds.
