EbonyLife TV hosted a Media and VIP cocktail event at Terra
Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos to premiere two new productions – New Horizon
and Married to the game on March 7, 2014.
New Horizons is a powerfully emotional and pulsating flick
that spotlights the plight of women across Africa who have to bear the pains of
domestic abuse, a crime far too familiar but rarely spoken about.
Starring Nollywood’s hottest Divas, Funke Akindele, Rita
Dominic, Kate Henshaw-Nuttal and Uche Jombo, New Horizons is the story of
triumph over abuse of these four women from different walks of life who meet
together within a self help group for women. They help each other get over and
through their various challenges and arrive at a new horizon in their
individual lives.
Executive Chairman and CEO of EbonyLife TV, Mo Abudu said “I
feel a huge sense of accomplishment at the premiere of New Horizons. As the
world celebrates World Women’s Day tomorrow, March 8, we dedicate the short movie
to all the women of Nigeria, Africa
and the world at large who may be going
through this terrible scourge. We are happy to put this dark subject on the
table for discussion so that there can be hope for many. For us, it may be the
premiere of the movie; but for all women of Africa, it may just be the
beginning of a new era; an era of self-discovery, awareness, belief, hope and
confidence.”
Guests at the premiere event included Tosyn Buknor, Ebuka
Obi- Uchendu, Alex Ekubo, Oreka Godis, Noble Igwe, Yemi Alade, Ikechukwu, Adams
Ibrahim, Zainab Balogun Olisa Adibua, Lanre Olushola, and many more.
Married to the Game (MTTG), a suspense-filled, cutting edge
drama thriller was also premiered at the event; starring Alex Ekubo and Leonora
Okine as lead characters. The series was produced by EbonyLife TV and directed
by Walter “Waltbanger” Taylor winner of AMVCA Best Short Film 2014.
