Nigerian actress, Ini Edo, in a chat with Punch disclosed why there is a lot of nudity in the recently released movie series ‘Shanty Town’.
The actress stated that this was necessary in order to shed more light on the fundamental problem of prostitution rocking the society.
She said “There are a lot of people, male and female, even children going through these things (such as prostitution and assault shown in the movie). It is a fundamental problem that we are shedding light on, and people are bothered about nudity? How do you talk about prostitution in a realistic way and not show nudity?
“It makes no sense but a greater part of the people understand. For the few who don’t, they will come around.”
Speaking on her preparation for the role she partook in ‘Shanty Town’, she added “It stretched me. I had to do kick boxing, martial arts and taekwondo. I was blessed to work with some professionals, who were really good.
“They had the patience to take me through from the work-out to the art; in order to be precise with my punches. It was fun and I miss it. I think it is something I would take out time to do for myself at some point. I have always been a fighter.”
