The Reunion Set To Hit Cinemas

All is set for the release of the movie, The Reunion across cinemas nationwide from August 16. The movie premieres on Sunday, August 11.

The star studded movie tells the story of four friends from high school who re-unite to plan the 50th anniversary of their alma mater. As a battle of superiority stirs up and issues from the past are re-visited, secrets are revealed that threaten to tear up their seemingly perfect lives.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of Fojo Media Productions and Executive Producer of the movie, Mrs. Faith Ojo, The Reunion shares the struggles of women while living up to the expectations of the society. “This is a must-watch for every household.”

While commenting on the film industry in Nigeria and its performance, Mrs. Ojo said that Nollywood actors are a match to Hollywood actors any day, adding that the support and partnership they give to every project they are involved in makes the difference in the entertainment industry in Nigeria.

“The Nollywood industry will be bigger than what it is today if Nollywood actors, throw their weight and support from their fans to make each movie a hit, that way the producer makes more money to plunge back into paying them for more movies.”

“The industry has a lot of prospects and until actors see each project as their personal project, then we may remain where we are”, she added.
