EbonyLife TV has added a very important and highly strident voice to the global fight against domestic violence with the wrap up of the filming of yet another of its flagship reality programmes, Screen Divas.
Screen Divas, which will enjoy a Pan African launch later in the year on EbonyLife TV, will offer viewers an unprecedented glimpse into the world of four of Africa’s most eclectic Nollywood stars, FunkeAkindele, Rita Dominic, Kate Henshaw and Uche Jombo, as it showcases not only the glitz, glam, and gloss, but the struggles of their interesting lives outside the regular world of make-believe.Kate Henshaw, Rita Dominic, Uche Jombo & Funke AkindeleA key highlight of the reality series shot in Calabar at the world-class Studio Tinapais, the pulsating collaboration of the Nollywood divas on the production of a short film titled “New Horizons”, a soul-rendering flick that spotlights the plight of women across Africa who have to bear the needless pains of domestic abuse, a crime far too familiar but rarely spoken about.
An excited and jubilant Production Crew, led by Pamela Ofoegbu, Ebonylife TV’sDirector of Reality Programming, could not hide its feeling of fulfillment on the project. “Domestic violence is simply evil and I applaud our screen divas for lending us their star status to give a voice to the voiceless. They gave a stellar performance throughout the thrilling 3-week filming journeyand we are so proud of them”, said Ofoegbu.For director and producer of the short film within the must-see reality show, the tireless, award winning Tope OshinOgun, Screen Divas is a reality programme like no other. “Before and after Screen Divas, there was and will never be any quite like it”.The wrap up of Screen Divas which is coming fast on the heels of the wrap of the filming of Sistaz, another of EbonyLife TV’s flagship programme, and which is being followed by the production of a number of other exciting entertainment, reality and drama programmes, is in furtherance of the new Channel’s mission of being the first TV Channel in Africa set to produce and broadcast over 700 hours of premium, original and inspiring content with an African soul for a Global Black audience.
