In his own way of
contributing to the fight against the spread of the deadly Ebola virus, Popoola
Adewale a.k.a Pope is set to release a movie, Recovery (Imubosipo). The 25
minutes movie is to educate and inform the general public on the dreaded disease
and its undue social stigmatization.
According to Pope, “This one
on Ebola is a 25 minutes film with comedy, love and tragedy. It is about the
transmission, cure and prevention of the virus and that stigmatization should
be stopped. It was shot in pidgin and in Yoruba so that it will be useful to
everyone whether Yoruba or English speaking. It is going to be translated in
Queen’s English too.”
He went on, “The Ebola film
is going to act as an antidote to the fear the people have about the virus. It
will also entertain, educate and instruct the people. It’s not just going to be
a home video. That is why we are taking it to government and other relevant
health bodies and concern corporations.
We intend using it as a
national heritage. We are calling on the federal and state governments to use
it to teach the people all they need to know on Ebola. The film will be
released this month, October.”
On his forthcoming Christian
movie, the editor and producer hinted, “The Goodly Heritage Int. Film Ministry &
GI Ways Studio has also produced End of Operation as part of our evangelism
work. It teaches man not to look for help except from God. Preaching the good
news should be about bringing the good news of everyday life to man, not just
about preaching Jesus Christ.
We are doing the work of God.
The film will get to the churches for viewing.”
For the Sickle Cell movie, “I
also produced a film on sickle cell anemia which I have taken to the sickle
cell association of Nigeria.
I have not release it because there are a lot work still to be done on it and
its going to cost tens of millions of naira to complete. I need about N50m to finish the film on sickle cell.”
The other members cast and crew
for End of Operation is Olajide Olaegbe, Chester Osdagie, Bose Bassey, Ladipo
Ebenezer, Maryjane Bamigbose Ans Segunfunmi Adegbesan.
The cast and crew for
Recovery are Richard Adebayo, Bose Bassey and Priscillia Kadejo,
