Nollywood has a lot of larger-than-life films,that always include happy endings, exotic road trips and cruises. However, the fact remains that in some way or the other, films reflect the truth of society and the actual facts are embedded in the story in a way that becomes easy for one to gulp down.
On the flip-side, Domestic violence is a sensitive issue that filmmakers hardly find comfortable making a movie about.
Rising actor, filmmaker and director, Humphrey Ojonugwa, better known as Humjo in Nollywood, is set to unveil two new TV series, ‘Fear’ and ‘Tuki’.
The series which focuses on domestic violence and girl abuse promises to be intriguing and exciting. Humphrey Ojonugwa, who also doubles as a movie editor and member of Association of Motion Pictures & Entertainment Editors of Nigeria (AMPEEN) told TheNewsGuru that the flicks will boost his pedigree as a movie-maker.
“I believe the series will reshape and give my career as an actor a new dimension and perception. Domestic Violence is not an issue that should be swept under the carpet.
In recent times, issues of domestic violence has spiralled .For instance , the recent demise of rising singer, Alizee who was allegedly murdered by her Danish husband is a clear example. We need to keep talking about this menace and bring the perpetrators to justice.”.
When asked about the story line, he said: “The story is unique and intriguing. It’s about a mother who lured her young daughter into sleeping with her lover because she couldn’t afford to pay her house rent. It’s a story filled with lessons for everyone.”
