Ken Ngwa is a new emerging voice of creativity. His credits include motion pictures Nature Boy, Scam Republique, and New Bosses, a Wu Tang affiliated music video featuring Method Man. Ken Ngwa’ talent for filmmaking was first shown in 2018 with his critically-acclaimed movie Scam Republique. The film wowed audiences at the New York Hip Hop Film Festival. "This film is my most personal film I've made to date. There is an alienation which comes with being an immigrant in America, and up until the recent rise of social media, I realized I was not alone. To me it deals with the answer to a question that I've been asking myself since I was very young - what does it mean to be African?
