Award-winning Nigerian docudrama “Omolara” premieres at ISA channel

Coastline cities around the world are expected to enjoy a significant level of wealth as they stand out above all else. Akodo, situated on the coastline of Lagos is the ironic story of the silver line.

In this town, we meet a young lady who painstakingly struggles to make a better life for herself, pushing beyond a disconnected spouse and a community determined to destroy them. Broken and weak, she eventually has to defend her most precious asset.

“Omolara” (Nigeria), a mandatory 22-minute docudrama directed by Esther Kemi Gbadamosi, is streaming now at ISA channel. Awarded Bronze Best Director (Female) and an honorable mention for Best Drama Short in June 2019.
