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 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
organizations in combating the Ebola virus, which broke out early 2014 in
Nigeria.
The movie tells the story
of how a few sacrificed their lives at the frontline 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 her younger
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 powerful, gripping and an emotive piece. I
am more than proud to have played a part in this project.”
The Lagos State
Government’s rapid response and collaboration with other well-meaning organisations
in combating the deadly virus earned this notable event the theme, The Power of
COLLABORATION. This movie tells the story of greatness and drives home the
importance of unity in conquering and overcoming challenges.
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 Adadevoh 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
Theatre in Toronto, Canada this week. 93 days is definitely a movie to see and
will be remembered.
