Release date and trailer of Madu

Madu will be released on Disney+hotstar on March 29, 2024. The documentary has also released a trailer that is as inspiring as it is a tearjerker. Madu follows the dream of a 12-year-old Nigerian boy who does not wish to let his family down no matter what. His only desire? To dance ballet wholeheartedly.

Story of Madu

When his dancing clip went viral in 2020, his family received a call from the Elmhurst Ballet School in England. It is a very exclusive and prestigious ballet academy that has noticed his raw talent and is willing to train him for seven years. The docufilm’s trailer offers a touching glimpse of the love and tough times that have brought up Madu as a sweet, hopeful, and responsible young man with values and goals to achieve.

When a person dreams and sleeps ballet on stage, it is bound to happen. But if only this was Madu’s sole challenge. The young boy, who has never stepped outside the tightly knit community of Lagos, must go and reside in England, away from his family, all alone. Also, he must be meticulous and diligent, catching up with his peers as he cannot afford to fall back.

For others, it would be a lost chance, for Madu, it would be a lost future. Also, staying alone and practicing ballet rigorously has given him several health problems. For a boy who has been trying his hand at ballet since 5, these are only deterrents, albeit strong ones. But the trailer shows how the young man is as dependable as cool-headed.
