The House on the
Rock Church, Natives FilmWorks, Michelangelo Productions and the Bolanle Austen-Peters Production are
collaborating to host The Nigerian Premiere of the Nigerian produced Film - 93 Days, on Tuesday, September 13, 2016, at The Rock Cathedral, 4th Roundabout, Lekki-Epe
Expressway, Lagos.
Starring Bimbo
Akintola, Danny Glover, Tim Reid, Somkele Idhalama, Keppy Ekpenyong, Gideon
Okeke and other talented actors, 93 Days is a compelling story of
dedication, sacrifice and resilience which celebrates the courage shown by the
First Consultant Medical Team, the Lagos State & Federal Governments and
well-meaning organizations in combating the Ebola virus, which broke out early
2014 in Nigeria.
The movie tells the story of how a few sacrificed their
lives at the frontline of the horrendous battle against the Ebola virus, some
of who lost their lives, but not without saving several lives. Noteworthy is
the late Dr. Stella Adadevoh whose role is played by renowned Nigerian actress,
Bimbo Akintola.
Working with her younger colleagues, her early detection of
the disease in a patient and insistence on treating him contributed greatly to
limiting the spread of the disease in our nation. This powerful movie has the
central themes of triumph, heroism and a country’s determination to rise above
the storm.
One of the Producers of the movie, Bolanle Austen-Peters in her
statement said, “93 Days is a
masterfully crafted story of bravery and sacrifice and is definitely a must
see. It showcases the best of Nigeria; it is powerful, gripping and an emotive
piece. I am more than proud to have played a part in this project.”
The Lagos State Government’s rapid response and
collaboration with other well-meaning organisations in combating the deadly
virus earned this notable event the theme, The Power of COLLABORATION. This
movie tells the story of greatness and drives home the importance of unity in
conquering and overcoming challenges.
Speaking on The House on the Rock Partnership with these
notable bodies, the Senior Pastor of all House on the Rock Churches, Pastor Paul Adefarasin said, “House on the Rock’s mission is to work
together with everyone that is invested in building a transformed nation, a
better Nigeria, and this essence ties strongly into the courage displayed by
Dr. Stella Adadevoh and her colleagues who brought hope to a nation that was
being threatened by devastation, at the expense of their own lives. This is the
kind of love and sacrifice that can truly bring transformation to all.”
The Toronto
International Film Festival (TIFF), widely recognized for showing the
most outstanding films from around the world, has selected 93 Days for
screening at the Isabel Bader
Theatre in Toronto,
Canada this week.
93 days is definitely a movie to see and will be
remembered.
