After winning 8 awards including best feature film, International feature film 'IJE', directed by Chineze Anyaene, will be in Cinemas on July 30 in Nigeria.The film comprises Nollywood's two screen goddesses, Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jolade-Ekeinde (who shines at exclusive screening of 'IJE') and are ably supported by an international cast such as Hispanic sensation Odalys Garcia and upcoming actor, Ulrich Que.
Unprecedented in scope, 'IJE' merges Nigerian and American cultures through film, to tell a tale of Chioma, a child growing up in the Nigerian countryside, who warned her restless sister, Anya, about the trappings of the American Dream. Now ten years later, Anya is accused of killing three men in a Hollywood Hills mansion-one of them her record producer-husband.
Chioma travels from Nigeria to Los Angeles, and with the help of a young, unproven attorney, discovers that the dark secret her sister wants to keep hidden might be the only thing that can win her freedom.
The film already won an award and has been nominated for few others, this is another show of the relevance of Nollywood to the global film industry.
