Mother's Fight in her hometown, Abiriba, on December 24.
It was directed by Ike Nnebue, and it features Uche Jombo-Rodriguez,
Bobby Obodo, Kiki Omeili, Uche Nnanna, Ejike Ibedilo, and Prince
Nwafor.
The Story
Ngozi's journey of the tradition she can't change or accept, in a
place where women are seen not heard. This is not your everyday story.
It is a story of a woman who will take on men and much more for her
girls. Ngozi's world is turned upside down with the shocking news of
her husband's sudden death but this is just the beginning as she is
faced with a bigger fight. The truth stops where tradition and custom
begin.
This is a mother's fight for that which is right and ultimately for
her daughters.
It is an Uche Jombo and You (UJAY) foundation initiative as part of
its community service via the first screening in Abiriba.
The movie is not waging war against the traditions and customs that
have existed for hundreds of years. Nevertheless it is creating a
proactive consciousness in the minds of people that a better life
tomorrow starts with a well thought out plan today.
