This time around the award winning actress is lending her voice to an animated fantasy film M’Tali: The Everlasting Spring. How cool is it that Ama will be starring alongside American superstar Eddie Murphy!

About the Film

M’Tali: The Everlasting Spring follows Princess Selani of the African kingdom of M’tali who longs for adventure but quietly dreads the responsibilities waiting for her as future queen. When a coup separates her from her family and kingdom, she finds herself in the Forbidden Jungle inhabited by a mysterious family who have discovered the legendary Everlasting Spring, a magical water said to preserve youth forever. There she must reckon with her uncle’s ambitions and uncover what, beyond any single artifact, truly sustains a kingdom.

Ama’s Role

The talented Ama will star as the film’s heroine Princess Selani, with Murphy playing her evil uncle Vakoro. Seeing what Ama has done so far in other productions,it goes without saying that we are about to eat.

International Casting after Another

A couple of months back Ama was announced as part of the star studded cast of upcoming action comedy film called, Boyz Trip. Boyz Trip follows four former college friends whose annual reunion getaway turns into a wild, high-stakes international misadventure. Their trip to Cape Town is all about brotherhood, big energy and even bigger consequences.

Ama also stars in another international film titled Fight Like A Girl. The film was shot in Goma (an active war zone) a few years ago. It is based on true events, inspired by the courageous journey of young Congolese boxing champion Clarck Ntambwe and her coach Balezi “Kibomango” Bagunda. Balezi was tragically killed amid ongoing violence in East Congo last year while helping rescue orphans to safety
