It is a co-production by actors from Cameroon and Nigeria.

Sorrow best illustrates the feelings of the audience that witnessed the launching of the film "The Blues Kingdom" at the Yaounde Hilton Hotel on 26th October 2007. Tears and pity gripped the audience as they watched how young girls in Toncoron (an imaginary location near Mamfe, South West Province) went through torture and pain as they were subjected to painful female circumcision (Female Genital Mutilation) and breast ironing in the name of upholding the traditions of the area which is intended to suppress the sexual appetite of the girls. The film was launched by the representative of the Nigerian High Commission in Cameroon, Mr Peter Akimsola, in the presence of the representative of the Minister of Culture, other members of the diplomatic corps and the General Manager of Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV), Mr Amadou Vamoulke, as the chief host. Also present at the ceremony was one of the actresses from Nigeria, Clarion Chukwura

The film sets out to condemn some obnoxious traditional practices including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and breast ironing still existing in some regions in Nigeria and Cameroon (notably in the South-West, Centre and Northern Provinces). Although the king of Toncoron is against breast ironing and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), the wife is strongly for it. The king's hard decision against the ugly tradition of Toncoron forces his wife to kill him spiritually. The prince (Mfor or traditional head) of Toncoron is used by his mother in making sure that the tradition of the region is respected. The Mfor's mouthpiece (his mother) did all in her powers to make sure any queen-to-be undergoes circumcision and also performs the "Monikim" dance.

In joyful songs and dances, older women in the village will circumcise any girl that is supposed to be the queen-to-be. Under a tree where the circumcision scene or breast ironing exercise takes place the women will sing; "where is one part of your body, it has been cut off and thrown behind the house. Why? Because our tradition wants it. If you are not circumcised, your sexual drive will be very strong " As young girls were subjected to circumcision they died from excess bleeding and poor medical attention. Moreover, things turn sour for the Mfor and his mother when they are bent on having the daughter of Ayum Joe (Zack Orji), circumcised as the queen-to-be. Ayum Joe, after several years in the United States, was in the village with his family for holidays. The vacation turned out to be a nightmare as Anna, his daughter, the queen-to-be must undergo circumcision and also perform the "Monikim" dance; two practices, the Ayums consider inhuman and unthinkable. It is only after a military intervention from the government that such practices end in the area.

Speakers at the ceremony lauded the initiative taken by the producer, Gilbert Agbor Ebot and other crew members to come out with such a film which condemns such barbaric traditions. While encouraging the artists, dignitaries said the value of a woman is a value for humanity which should be protected.
