As Africans, one of the first things, we've been taught is not to disgrace our family, at whatever cost. We grow up with that mentality and unfortunately this means a lot of things are swept under the carpet at home. We cling onto taboos and limit ourselves in educating lives on the controversial issue we refuse to acknowledge as most talk about. We'd rather hide things under the surface and fake a smile and pretend everything is okay so "my neighbour doesn't laugh at me."
I went to a screening of a new Nollywood movie
African movies have a trend of imitation-no offence intended to
anyone- but I personally find myself knowing how the story will unfold before
it begins!
With shameful deceit, I was intrigued, shocked, interested and
happy, even happy that issues like this are being exposed to our audiences,
communities, people, and the world!
Finally, a movie with a message! Educational message! Not
another love story!
The movie achieved its aim of raising awareness on controversial
issues that we refuse to talk about because we're scared of what people will
say and in most cases, the victims are made to believe that they are actually
the offender, and it's their fault... The movie does a good job of erasing that
theory and also advising victims of what they can do to get help if they find
themselves in such situations...
Want a movie that's going to shock you and educate you? Are you
tired of watching love sick men and women and want to hear a silenced
angle of our culture? How shameful can a deceit be? “Shameful deceit” a must
watch film.
This movie was produced by Theodora Ibekwe and Directed by Ruke
Amata,The London Premiere of this movie will take place on the 5th of
July,2013@ the Odeon Cinema in Greenwich, Red carpet starts at 8pm.
