The Afrinolly Short Film Competition is back! Film director, Ronke Ogunmakin has sent in her short documentary “Awele’s Diary” as an entry this year. If you recall, her film, The Enigmatic Truth was entered last year {Click here if you missed it} The Enigmatic Truth focused on domestic violence and Ronke is tackling another health/social issue this time with Awele’s Diary.
Read the synopsis here:
Awele’s Diary is a real-life personal outlook on the life of Awele Nwosu-Akeh who is a young woman living with Sickle Cell Disease. It was produced by Ceeander Entertainment which is a partnership between budding film Director, Ronke Ogunmakin and Producer, Cindy Ihua.
Sickle Cell is a real issue and the aim of this documentary is to create awareness about the disease by giving the documentary a personal touch and bring people into the world of a sickle cell patient who still lives a fulfilled life regardless. Understanding their pain and how their family has to cope would shed light on a serious issue that affects a lot of Nigerians and Africans as a whole.
