OFFICIAL TRAILER OF “OMONIYUN”

‘Omoniyun,’ an advocacy film that reveals the destruction and defilement of a young girl, who was raped by her step-father.

Speaking on the film, Amusa said, “I am one person that draws inspiration from things that happen around me, things I see, things I hear. I didn’t write the script, it was written by Dayo Fawore but when I got the synopsis of the story, I read through it and I fell in love with it. Before then, I have had the opportunity to hear and see stories of child molestation in Sagamu, so when the story came in, it resonated and because I like dealing with stories that have social issues or themes, it came naturally for me to shoot the movie. I seem to have strength in shooting advocacy movies.”

‘Omoniyun’ tells the story of a community nurse, Omoniyun who has an unrivaled love for children and has a radical journalist fiancé, Fijabi. The couple wrestles a protected tyrannical prince, Sodeke, and his desperate loyalists, Elemide and Romiluyi. Sodeke threatens blood and death over the fate of a violated minor, Fiyinfolu, in a war that piques Human Rights against tradition.

'Omoniyun' is the newest of Amusa's list of advocacy movies which include 'Unforgivable' starring Desmond Elliot.
