VHS ASHANTI LAND OF NO MERCY

When his wife is kidnapped by a brutal slave trader during a humanitarian mission in Africa, Dr. David Linderby (Michael Caine) embarks on a desperate quest across deserts, war zones, and black markets to rescue her. Along the way, he encounters mercenaries, smugglers, and unlikely allies—including characters played by Peter Ustinov, Omar Sharif, and Beverly Johnson—in a race against time and tyranny.

Directed by Richard Fleischer, Ashanti is a sweeping, globe-trotting thriller that tackles the horrors of modern slavery with 70s grit and international flair. With its exotic locales, tense action, and star-studded cast, it’s a forgotten relic of socially conscious adventure cinema.
