Amazon has announced the release date for Donald Glover and Rihanna’s new film Guava Island.

Set in Cuba, the thriller arrives on Amazon Prime Video this Saturday (13 April) at 8.01am UK time.

The release comes shortly after Glover, performing under his musical moniker Childish Gambino, headlines Coachella festival, California, on Friday night (12 April).

Glover said: ”I’m really humbled having the opportunity to present something this timely and timeless.

“Between Rihanna and the people of Cuba, this is one of my favourite projects I’ve ever worked on.”

The trailer for Guava Island – directed by Hiro Murai and co-starring Letitia Wright and Nonso Anozie - debuted at Pharos Festival in New Zealand last year.

Murai said: “Guava Island is the end result of four incredible weeks spent in Cuba with some of the most inspiring creative talents I’ve ever met.

“Designers, performers, musicians, and filmmakers came together from all over the world to create this crazy fever dream of a production.”
