Nigerian movie lovers are in for another mind blowing project as women in Nigerian films are taking the bull by the horn to make a huge difference.
This is coming as Nollywood actress, Victoria Nwogu and her talented director who happens to be a female, Esse “Esse Rocks” Akwawa stick heads together to make the movie, Joe.
The movie Joe breaks the bias in professional environments and nicely pushing that agenda nicely is the story of a young girl whose dream is to own her own auto-shop and must fight bigger giants than her male counterparts who are considered better suited for such fields.
From the storyline to the cast, props and general style, the box office hit clearly reflects the theme of this year’s international women’s day which is ‘Breaking the bias.’
The film is a touching one, it is normal to see young people feel out of place because of their choice of careers especially in a world like ours where there are a lot of boxes people are put into, preventing them from truly reaching their potential.
The inspiration from Sandra Aguebor is a good one, many more girls should emulate her and see that they reach their true potentials especially at times like this where entrepreneurship is the order of the day in Nigeria given the economic situation.
The film says “You want to be a female mechanic” why not. Go for It girl!
By all standards, the movie, Joe is a great work.
