‘A Young Time Ago’ is Prime Video’s newest release, offering viewers a gripping story of redemption and second chances. The movie centers around an ex-convict who reflects on a past filled with revenge that took an unexpected turn. As fate presents him with an unforeseen opportunity, audiences are taken on a journey to witness how he seizes this second chance.

The director, Tolu Awobiyi, made the announcement on Instagram, sharing the movie’s synopsis and revealing its debut on the streaming platform. Awobiyi had expressed his deep attachment to this project earlier in the year, stating, “I have had this one on my heart since 2013. It was my very first story…the one my heart really wanted to tell the world. I carried it around for years wondering when, who, where and finally we sold it, we’ve told it and soon we’ll share it with you all.”
‘A Young Time Ago’ adds to the list of highly anticipated movies to watch out for this month as it makes its debut on September 1, 2023. The film is produced by the creators of ‘Breaded Life,’ which also features Timini Egbuson and ‘Couple of Days.’
Some portions of the movie were shot at the University of Ibadan, adding a college backdrop to the story, reflecting the theme of youthful exuberance and its consequences.
‘A Young Time Ago’ will be available for streaming directly on Prime Video through a licensed direct release deal, promising an engaging and thought-provoking viewing experience for audiences.
