Why does the world embrace African creativity but overlook its originators? This is the question Chukwudi Charles “Juice” Ezeani seeks to answer in his upcoming documentary, The Silent Struggle.

A veteran music producer and Forbes insider, Juice has worked closely with creatives through his Producers Bootcamp. Now, he is using film to highlight the challenges African artists face—lack of credit, poor industry structures, and international platforms profiting off their work without fair compensation.

From music to fashion, African influence is undeniable. Yet, producers, designers, and songwriters often go unrecognized. Juice’s documentary not only exposes these issues but also explores solutions, pushing for ownership and economic empowerment.

“This isn’t just about visibility; it’s about African creatives taking charge of their narratives,” Juice explains. As the documentary nears release, it is set to ignite a crucial conversation: Who really benefits from African creativity—and how can we change that?
