THE FAKE PROPHEt

premieres in London 

UK based NGO Stepping Stones Nigeria (SSN) is delighted to announce the release of their new and ground-breaking Nollywood film – The Fake Prophet - produced as an advocacy tool to save and change thousands of children’s lives.

Stepping Stones Nigeria has produced The Fake Prophet in an attempt to stimulate debate and pioneer positive change on challenging issues such as child trafficking and the labelling of children as ‘witches’.  The film powerfully encapsulates many major social and political issues that affect Nigerian society today, including the dangers faced by children following witchcraft accusations.

The Fake Prophet aims to counterbalance these films and expose the truth behind the so-called men and women of God who have made their wealth from branding children as witches and highlight the legal consequences of child witch stigmatisation and abuse.

The Fake Prophet premieres in London on the 24^th July at the

Amnesty International Human Rights Action Centre, 17-25 New Inn Yard EC2A3EA.

Proceedings kick off with a drinks reception at 6.30pm, followed by the film screening at 7.30pm.

There will be a Q&A session with SSN’s Programme Director, Gary Foxcroft and film director Teco Benson.

AMC continues to shine as the home of Africa’s top creative talent and most captivating entertainment.  From Saturday, 26^th June, AMC will start showing on-demand the epic 11-episode tale of Mary Slessor, the Scottish missionary whose service to the people of Calabar is remembered and honoured to this day.

With backing from the BBC, the series was produced and directed by top Nollywood director Jeta Amata, with help from long-time friend Nick Moran, star of the cool British gangster flick Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. 

‘Mary Slessor’ features Jeta’s father Zack Amata and uncle Frank Amata, two of the leading members of Nollywood’s ‘royal’ Amata family.  The true star of this production is British actress Alison Pargeter, who rose to fame in British BAFTA-winning soap opera, Eastenders.  Her portrayal of Mary Slessor brings the heroine of Calabar to life.

This compelling drama series recounts the colourful and courageous story of Mary Slessor, who lived and worked among the people of Calabar in the late 19th Century.  By learning their language and culture, she spread the Christian faith and persuaded those with long-held traditional beliefs to abandon cruel practices, such as the killing of twins at birth, and adopt new ones, like modern medicines.  She also crusaded for women’s rights and social justice in the context of communities that had been torn apart by the slave trade over many generations.

AMC’s co-director, Lola Onigbogi said, “‘Mary Slessor of Calabar’ is one of the most significant recent developments in African television production.  With international funding, an international cast and crew and shot on location where actual events took place, it brings an African story to life for audiences all over the world.  With AMC, we have created a platform that ensures audiences across the continent and the world over can share in this inspiring story.”

Watch this gripping series on-demand exclusively on the African Movie Channel. And for a limited period only, watch the first three episodes for the price of two!

Clinic Matters is a comedy series that dramatizes the everyday experience of a busy doctor, his committed nurses and their “interesting” patients. Starring AMAA award winner, Emeka Ossai, Clinic Matters is a unique story as it comically depicts real situations in an every day hospital. It is the first original medical comedy series in Nigeria. 

Clinic Matters focuses on a professional doctor and nurses, who are faced with the challenges of attending to their numerous patients with crazy medical problems. The very pretty nurses are also a bunch of interesting characters as they interpret their roles adding so much fun to the show. Each episode is educative and extremely spiced with humor as its unique brand of humor lies mostly in real life situations. 

Clinic Matters teaches moral lessons and healthy living. It educates on pre-marital sex and its consequences and campaigns against extra-marital affairs. It encourages unity in the family and discourages gender discriminations.  

With genuine characters and a gentle pace, Clinic Matters is a comedy that is instantly likeable. It’s educative, entertaining and most importantly, hilarious. It’s a must watch for every home as every character displays serious humor at its best. Clinic Matters will be showing soon exclusively on the African Movie Channel.

African Movie Channel – delivering the best African films and drama on-demand to your home…

Top Nollywood stars, producers and directors, ambassadors and top government dignitaries, and industry analysts packed the house to witness history being made with the first Nollywood premiere ever at Odeon Leicester Square. As expected, Kingsley Ogoro’s Across The Niger surpassed all expectations.

Across The Niger is a Kingsley Ogoro film set in period that was Nigeria’s worst nightmare ever - the Nigerian civil war of 1967.

When Dubem (Kanayo O. Kanayo) falls in love and marries Habiba (Rekia Atta), little does he realize that they have signed an inter-ethnic bond which is to be immediately challenged by the outbreak of an inter-ethnic conflict which quickly turns into the Nigerian civil war. Their love is a forbidden one across enemy lines. Hunted on all sides, they are forced to flee and travel hundreds of miles in search of safety and refuge.

In search of home, they can rely on nothing else but their inner strengths, their love…and a few friends along the way. But it turns out that ‘home’ is no longer what it used to be…

“This ranks up there among the best films to ever come out of the continent of Africa” - African Movie Channel.

Kingsley Ogoro is a movie-maker of international acclaim whose awesome talent has brought fun and entertainment to millions.

Watch other Kingsley Ogoro works, including the critically acclaimed and hugely successful Osuofia In London, the award-winning Widow, and other Ogoro masterpieces like The Battle of Love, The Prostitute, Church in Crisis, The Return, and Mena only on the African Movie Channel from December.
