The producers of the much-anticipated Bormeh Series have announced a new premiere date, set for May 24, 2025, at the Freetown City Council Auditorium. The change was confirmed in an official press statement released by the production team.
Originally scheduled to debut on May 10, the premiere was rescheduled to accommodate a larger and more inclusive audience, as well as to support a unified front in the growing Sierra Leonean film industry.
“As previously announced, May 10th was our initial premiere date,” the statement reads. “However, we recognize that the Sierra Leone film industry is still growing, and it’s not in the best interest of the community to have competing premieres on the same day. We believe in one industry, in unity. This decision is rooted in our deep respect for our fellow filmmakers and our collective vision for growth.”

Described as a cinematic milestone for Sierra Leone, Bormeh Series is being hailed as the country’s first-ever cinematic television series. A production of KID-AFAN FILMS and Sierraflixx Inc., the series is created and directed by Chernor Kargbo and Idrissa Barry Jalloh, with the screenplay written by Kargbo.

Bormeh Series explores themes of power, secrecy, and resilience, set against the backdrop of the infamous Bormeh dumpsite in Freetown.
