Spread the love
On Sunday
2nd August 2015, movie industry enthusiasts, key stake holders and lots of
guests gathered at the Silverbird Cinema in Victoria Island Lagos for Stephanie
Linus’s ‘DRY’ Movie Premiere. The critically acclaimed movie had been long
awaited by many who were excited to see the movie and gave it excellent reviews
after watching it.

The movie
written, produced, directed by, and starring Nollywood’s A-List actress,
Stephanie Linus, is an inspired true story that follows a trail of Zara’s
(played by Stephanie Linus) trip to Africa, her constant turmoil as a result of
inexplicable horrors from her child hood, her experiences and heartaches while
working with young girls suffering from complications from early child birth as
child brides, against the backdrop of a rich African culture. It is full of
intrigue, suspense, unbelievable surprises, the joy of reconciliation and the
power of the human spirit that is guaranteed to captivate and engage
moviegoers.
Many turned
up to give their support to the award winning actress including her husband
Linus Idahosa, Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Sola Sobowale, Mo Abudu, Ruth
Osime, Nkiru Anumudu, Tara Fela-Durotoye, Ray Kyles – British Deputy High
Commissioner, Representatives from the Canadian Embassy, Representatives from
the US Consulate amongst others.
The film

Bill McNamara as Dr. Brown, and Introducing Zubaida Ibrahim Fagge as Halima the
teenager who had to endure a life not designed for a child: to be married to a
man who was more than four times her age. Produced by Next Page Productions,
