Wara is an entrancing drama series that was aired by TV5 Monde in 2020. Drawing inspiration from the opaque world of high finance, corporate maneuvering, and the complexities of familial relationships, Wara presents a rich tapestry of characters and plots that continuously engage the viewer.
Set against the backdrop of West Africa, specifically in Senegal, the show provides an intriguing glimpse into the African financial industry. Despite the fact that its domain is an African corporation, it also showcases a universal language, encompassing the underlying themes of power, ambition, and family dynamics. Hence, it's not just a narrative revolving around banking or finance; it is a multi-layered saga of human aspirations, frailties, and strength.
Wara predominantly unfolds within the confines of the prestigious financial institution "Bancara," one of the most powerful banks in West Africa. As the company is hit with a succession crisis following the unexpected death of its CEO, it navigates through a whirlwind of challenges. The power vacuum communities an intense struggle for control that does not just involve Bancara's employees, but also its investors and the CEO's family. The character development is intricately crafted, featuring characters from different ethnicities and diverse socio-cultural backgrounds whose lives are intertwined by Bancara.
The main character, Nissa, a brilliant economist with an impeccable track record in London
