Sexual molestation of children remains unabated despite many anti-molestation campaigns and other efforts by movie makers to change the negative gender story.
Producer Kemi Adekomi is keen on seeing the problem drastically reduced with her new movie DARK CLOUDS, an advocacy film on Child Sexual Abuse.
According to a statement from the stable of Kemi Adekomi Productions, the film will be shown around schools in Nigeria as part of its advocacy campaign.
Join our WhatsApp Channel“From our aggressive social media campaign, we are set to raise our voices through our film, Dark Clouds which is our contribution to the fight against this anomaly. This is not just a regular entertainment film, it is an advocacy film on Child Sexual Abuse.
The synopsis of the film narrates the ordeals faced by a 12- year-old girl in a society where stigma follows the victims.
After a while of suppressed pain and hurt, Hannah, a 12 year old girl decides to speak up against her demon. But then, they were series of failed attempts.
Then luck shines on the girl when Tracy, a friend of Mabel (Hannah’s Aunty) who also has her issues unknown to Mabel finds Hannah one day locked away, and what she found her doing.
This act leads Tracy to sniff and find evidences that something is indeed wrong in Mabel’s household that seemed to all like a perfect home.
This discovery fuels her own anger, and she finally decides to be her own advocate and that of the child, as she makes a bold move.
But then, are the clouds about to get even darker?
The production outfit added a caveat boldly written in bold letters.
THIS FILM IS NOT FOR SALE, BUT WILL BE SHOWN ROUND SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS FREE OF CHARGE.
