The Milkmaid, a Hausa language-based thriller on insurgency in Northern-Nigeria, will exclusively screen in Lagos.
Disclosing this in a statement, the movie’s Executive Producer, Dr. Oluseun Sowemimo stated that the screening will be held on Sunday, January 10, 2020, at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island in Lagos.
Written, produced, and directed by Nollywood filmmaker, Desmond Ovbiagele, The Milkmaid spotlights insurgency and extremism, especially as they affect women and children in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Technically crafted to the highest cinematic standards, the thriller showcases the natural beauty of Nigeria’s topography such as the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State.
Amongst other things, The Milkmaid also highlights the richness of the subregion’s colorful Hausa and Fulani cultures.
It would however be recalled that last year December, the movie was selected by the Nigerian Oscars Selection Committee (NOSC) to represent the country in the International Feature Film category of the 2021 Oscars.
The movie, at the last Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), which held virtually, won five categories of the eight nominations it got.
