Renowned Nollywood actress, movie producer and girl-child advocate, StephNora Okere, is set to unveil her latest cinematic effort through the executive premiere of the movie, Roberta
Roberta is a gripping tale of resilience, empowerment and redemption produced under her production company, AfroVision Ltd, which is thrilled to unveil the highly anticipated executive premiere of its latest cinematic gem at the Silverbird Cinema Abuja, on February 17.

Directed by Ema Edosio, Roberta unfolds the captivating story of Amaka Nwachukwu, brilliantly portrayed by Somkele Iyalamah, navigating the challenging terrain of life, marked by abuse and exploitation.

“I can imagine the hardships for underprivileged girls, some forced into these situations due to survival instincts.
“My belief is that highlighting these situations and dangers is an effective way to educate everyone on the signs, dangers and potential solutions, especially for the vulnerable young girls who are the major focal point and concern of my NGO, Bigsister Care Foundation.
Roberta s not merely a film; it is a powerful narrative shedding light on societal issues and championing the resilience of women determined to overcome adversity.
