April Chidinma Tackles Female Circumcision In PREYE

Nigerian actress and movie producer April Chidinma has released a film titled PREYE, which focuses on the problem of female genital mutilation (FGM). The movie aims to inform people about the health risks, emotional pain, and social struggles that come with this harmful practice. The film is now trending on YouTube and is getting a lot of attention for its powerful message.

In the movie, April shows the painful experiences that women who go through FGM often face. The story encourages people to create better support systems to help victims heal and find peace. While speaking to journalists in Abuja, April said she was inspired to make the movie after learning about the pain many women experience and the lack of care they receive from their partners. She believes FGM is cruel and should be stopped.

April also made a strong appeal to traditional and religious leaders, asking them to speak out more in their communities and churches so that the message against FGM can spread to the grassroots. She believes that change will only happen when these leaders take the message seriously and pass it on to others.

She expressed happiness that PREYE was selected and screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. To her, this recognition is a reward for all the hard work and time spent making the film. She said that being part of the festival felt like a dream come true. For April, the Toronto festival has always felt like a special place full of creative energy, and having her movie shown there is a big moment in her career.
