Living in Bondage: Breaking Free, also known as Living in Bondage 2, is a 2019 Nigerian supernatural thriller film executive produced by Charles Okpaleke. A sequel to the 1992 classic Living in Bondage, the film stars Kenneth Okonkwo, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Enyinna Nwigwe, and Muna Abii, with Swanky JKA in his breakout role, and Ramsey Nouah making his directorial debut and starring as the main villain.
Our Social Media round up showed mostly positive experiences for the movie goers. In May 2020, it was released on Netflix, enabling Nigerians in diaspora to have access to the movie, and to give a sense of nostalgia. Someone thought the storytelling was the usual bad storytelling of Nollywood.
After the movie was released, a lady went on Twitter to say that her creative work was used and she received no compensation, because her contact claimed her designs were not used in the movie, but she saw them all over the movie. The issue was eventually resolved with the director giving her due compensation for her creative work.

I am 20 minutes into #LivingInBondageBreakingFree and I have already concluded its the best movie ever directed in the Nollywood space. The casting, the set, plot, the score, soundtrack, picture & sound editing, visual effects and the dialogues all top notch. I am impressed.

Living in Bondage: Breaking Free was released a year ago. The sequel of the 19992/93 blockbuster, Living in Bondage, was one of the most successful Nollywood cinema releases of 2019.

I just started watching 'Living in Bondage:Breaking Free'
I knew this movie was scary right from Part one…..but did this guy just kill his daughter?🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️#livinginbondagebreakingfree— God is Gracious (@ThorleyJanet) May 25, 2020
Living in bondage is a brilliant movie.
A series teaching can be done on the encounter between "Andy Okeke and Richard Williams" in the church scene.
Deep knowledge !!! #netflix #livinginbondagebreakingfree #doctrineschallenged— Tunde (@murphurs) May 25, 2020
#LivingInBondageBreakingFree Should have another part right? Well it might not because lots of evil perpetrators are still out there living free and large. Everyone wants riches but are you ready for the sacrifices?

Totally impressed with #Livinginbondagebreakingfree. Nollywood is finally making my kind of movie. Kudos to the crew.

If you watched living in bondage in the early-mid 90s, and watched #livinginbondagebreakingfree , you will appreciate the growth of the Nigerian movie industry!!! Kudos to Ramsey Nouah, he did justice to this!

The movie is everything! 👏🏾
Acting, production, wardrobe, cinematography, culture…everything so rich & upscale.
The inclusion of some of the 1992 actors was the icing on the cake.#LivinginBondage #LivinginBondageBreakingFree
