Synopsis
Graft (2024) is a Zambian drama feature directed and produced by Owas Ray Mwape. The theatrical key art is presented by Oram Media Works and Owas Films Production in association with Oram Film Training Academy. The poster tagline — “When Corruption Sinks Everyone” — frames a story that sets a family unit against archetypes of power: business, medicine, and academia. IMDbPro lists Kangwa Chileshe and Sophie Mbao among the cast.

The Challenge
Mount an independent Zambian feature under the Owas Films / Oram banner — a corruption drama with theatrical key art and a cast drawn from Zambian screen talent — without the marketing machine of a network original.
Creative Direction
Owas Ray Mwape directed and produced. Key art centres on a portrait theatrical poster with full billing. Oram TV published life-on-set documentation during the shoot, including work with Alfred Njovu on camera.
Production Process
Independent feature workflow under Oram Media Works / Owas Films, with Oram Film Training Academy associated on the public billing. Unit photography beyond the poster collage remains thin in the public web archive — the HD poster is the primary official image asset.
Behind the Scenes
Oram TV’s Facebook set documentation records the Lusaka shoot. Cleared production stills for the public site are still outstanding; until then the gallery leads with the official theatrical poster only.
