Few themes have endured in Nollywood quite like the consequences of dishonouring the dead, burial rites, and the upholding of traditions. Bury Me Again, directed by actor-filmmaker Yul Edochie and produced by Judy Austin, comfortably sits within that Nollywood legacy.
Released on the YulEdochieTV YouTube channel on 31 July 2026, the film quickly amassed millions of views within days, proof that the Edochie name still commands enormous audience loyalty.
Much of that curiosity stems from the rare on-screen reunion of Nollywood icon Pete Edochie and his son Yul. Their collaboration alone makes the film an event. But beyond its commercial success is the debate on the place of tradition and burial rites.
Plot
Bury Me Again centres on Ikenna (Yul Edochie), a successful businessman whose seemingly stable life descends into chaos after his father, a respected titled elder, dies. Before his father’s passing, Ikenna had promised to accord him a befitting traditional burial, but financial constraints and personal circumstances led him to cut corners, leaving the funeral rites incomplete.
