Wonder Boy For President in cinemas soon
John Barker’s new film ‘Wonder Boy for President’, starring comedy heavyweight, Kagiso Lediga, as well as a host of other top comedians, opens in cinemas nationwide on 29 July.
The film, which mocks the freaky state of South African politics, tells the story of Wonder Boy, a charismatic and authoritative young man from the Eastern Cape, who is coerced into running for president by two dubious and corrupt characters.
Their aim is to mould him into a great politician and then manufacture his downfall at the right time, for the right price.
But Wonder Boy proves to be everything that people say of him: magnetic, convincing and loved.
He’s also committed to improving the lives of everyday people in South Africa
Barker and Lediga are no strangers to the local entertainment scene.
Barker made his directorial debut with the award-winning comedy ‘Bunny Chow’, with Lediga as a writer and co-lead in the film.
