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 hugely talented actors, 93 Days is a compelling story of dedication, sacrifice which celebrates the courage shown by the first consultant medical team, the Lagos State, Federal Government and all well-meaning organizations in combating the Ebola virus, which broke out early in Nigeria.
The movie tells the story of how a few sacrificed their lives at the front line 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 the youngest 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 a powerful, gripping and an emotive piece. I am more than proud to have played a part in this project.”
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 Adadeyoh 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 Theater in Toronto, Canada this week.
Showing in cinemas nationwide from 16thSeptember 2016, 93 Days is definitely a movie to see and will be remembered.
