Wife of the state governor, Mrs. Betsy Obaseki, said the movie titled, ‘We will not be silent,’ was to kick off the four-day international film festival being organised by the state government in collaboration with private sector partners.
Speaking at the maiden launch of the festival in Benin City, Obaseki, who is Chairman of the Edo Gender-Based Violence Management Committee, said the movie is to celebrate inauguration of the film festival, and to complement state government’s effort in achieving a violence-free society. She said the theme of the film festival, ‘Edo to the world,’ was geared towards projecting the rich cultural heritage and history of Edo to the international community.
“This is a day we have been looking forward to, and I am very proud to be part of this unfolding renaissance and rebirth of our heritage, our rich history and culture that has been in coma for several decades,” she said.
Afrika calls for cultural revolution. My generation must make a change.
