As part of its campaign to promote a purposeful leadership in Nigeria, The Rock Cathedral in collaboration with Natives FilmWorks, Michelangelo Productions and the Bolanle Austen- Peters Production will premiere the highly anticipated Steve Gukas film – 93 Days.
The premiere holds on Tuesday, September 13, 2016 at the Rock Cathedral, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos. It will be the third movie premiere of the renowned church. Last year, it premiered Selma and Captive which featured award -winning Nigerian actor David Oyelowo.
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 organisations in combating the Ebola virus, which broke out early 2014 in Nigeria.
Bimbo Akintola portrays the late Dr. Stella Adadevoh who worked with her younger colleagues, and whose early detection of the disease in a patient and insistence on treating him contributed greatly to limiting the spread of the disease in Nigeria.
The film also highlights the rapid response of the Lagos State Government and its collaboration with other well-meaning organisations in combating the deadly virus which was aptly themed: ‘The Power of COLLABORATION.’
93 Days is also among the selected Nigerian films to be screened at The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September.
