The long awaited 30days movie produced and directed by Mildred Okwo, Ego Boyo, Toyin Dawodu and Shona “Cricket” Peters premiered in London, Atlanta and Maryland since 2006. However, it was only late last month it finally premiered in Lagos, Nigeria. Nollywood fans along with industry professionals showed their excitement by gathering at the premiere to support the movie and the 30days crew which starred folks like A-list actress Joke Silva, Genevieve Nnaji and New York based actor, Chet Anekwe.
The Story: Succintly put, Chet Anekwe who plays one of the lead characters [Kene Alumona] returns to Nigeria for just 30 Days. While there, he meets and buys into the philosophy of a revolutionary group called FRACA. FRACA’s goal and mission is simple-eliminate corrupt public officials and leave a better Nigeria for all Nigerians. The group begins assassinating identified corrupt public officials. This sends panic among the rich and powerful, some of whom are part of the corrupt officials. The rich and powerful make it their priority to investigate and find these assassins. The movie involves lots of action scenes that sees Genevieve Nnaji in a different role than is typical. There is also a budding romance with Chet and Genevieve. Visit the 30days site for more info.
