I am so glad that DRY has been selected to screen at the 24th\u00a0Pan African Film Festival<\/strong>. One of the dreams I had while making this movie is that it would be seen on several platforms across the world and that dream is coming to life.<\/p>\n

After screening around the world, drawing attention while shining light on controversy and receiving acknowledgement from world leaders, \u2018DRY\u2019 has been selected to screen at the largest and most prestigious black film festival in America \u2013 the Pan African Film Festival (PAFF). Also called the quintessential Black festival, PAFF is the largest event during Black History Month<\/strong>, celebrated in the U.S. every February and is scheduled to take place from February 4th \u201315th in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u2018DRY\u2019 will be screened on Sunday, February 7th, Saturday, February 13th and Monday, February 15th. For more information on times and location, please visit www.PAFF.org<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018DRY\u2019 is critically acclaimed inspired true story that depicts the life of two young girls living as child brides in West Africa. The movie focuses on child marriage and Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF), journeying into the heart-wrenching details of a culture not too many films dare to explore.\u00a0The film stars my humble self as Dr Zara, Darwin Shaw<\/strong> as Dr. Alex, the legendary Liz Benson Ameye<\/strong> as the Matron, Bill McNamara<\/strong> as Dr. Brown, and introducing Zubaida Ibrahim Fagge<\/strong> as Halima the teenager who had to endure a life not designed for a child.<\/p>\n
