Nigeria: Trailer Review - Stephanie Okereke-Linus' Dry

Hello again and I hope you are enjoying the Nollywood offerings of 2014 so far. Just last week, Rukky Sanda premiered her latest movie - Gold Diggin. One movie I cannot wait to watch (there are quite a few of them) is Stephanie Okereke-Linus' Dry. Even though official trailer is not out, the unofficial version which was released last year in the heat of the 'Child Not Bride' debate is one of the best trailers to come out of Nollywood in recent times. Having followed Okereke-Linus' work over the years, it is clear to see that the woman has really upped her game. Well done! A recent trend in Nollywood is that we have a number of producers embracing 'agenda' movies and sacrificing the tenets of good filmmaking at the expense of a message. For me, the mark of a true artist is in balancing the two. In the unofficial trailer of Dry, Linus-Okereke does not hold back in putting burning issues of rape, child marriage, obstetric fistula and the societal stigma that comes with it in our face. Sh
