In its effort to spotlight issues of rape, Aisre Pictures in conjunction with Megalectrics Limited, operators of Classic FM and Beat FM, recently held a sneak preview for a new movie, ‘Unforgivable’ in Lagos.
Unforgivable is a movie filled with comedy, suspense and will keep cinema lovers glued to their seats.
Amongst its casts are Nancy Isime, Timini Egbuson, Theo Lawson, Jude Orhorha, Victor Eriabie, Mercy Isoyip, Anthonia Okojie, Emeka Okoye, Kokoette Omoinyang, Ijeoma Richards, Joseph Momodu, Aaron Sunday, Moses Nwosu, Osasu Esemuede, Linda Igwe and Alloysius Onyejegbu.
Speaking on the idea behind the movie, producer and director, Osezuah Elimihe said, “We have heard stories of rape and seen movies and documentaries done on rape, but I thought of a movie that will look at every perspectives around rape without having to take side.”
“Unforgivable is a movie that looks at an event from different perspective.”
A representative of Classic FM, Benjamin Okoh, said: “We understand that society evolves and things happen. So, we decided to bring up one of the major things that happen in the society.
“Rape is a sensitive issue especially as it concerns women, so we are bringing that again to the fore just to show that rape is still with us and we must deal with it.”
One of the casts, Ijeoma Richard, who played the role of a judge in the movie, said unforgivable spotlights rape and the victim’s ordeal. People get to talk about the victims but it is also important to talk about those wrongly accused as not everyone that is accused of rape is a rapist and this is brought to the fore.”
