Sexual abuse, prostitution and unresolved murder, are the themes explored in Charles Uwagbai’s Black Silhouette. Black Silhouette tells the story of Maro Oti who is about to make history as the first female Governor in Nigeria. Despite her husband’s disapproval, she fixes an appointment with internationally acclaimed biographer, Eric Mobumba and requests that he writes her memoir. Eric Mobumba is elated at the opportunity but his excitement however starts to wane as Senator Maro’s tale of her past reveals a life of sexual abuse from childhood, prostitution as a teenager and an unresolved murder case.
According to Charles Uwagbai,the movie producer: “Its particularly, an interesting project. It’s a story of hope and survival for a woman who had been through all sorts of pain. Its a film that every woman should see. The film stars Joke Silva, Ivie Okujaye, Femi Jacobs,IK Osakioduwa and others.”
When asked about how long it took to shoot the movie, he said: “We shot the film over a year ago and spent over 3 weeks on location. We spent six months planning and working on the script. Telling a story that will drive emotions from ‘the heart of a woman’ is something that you need to put a lot of research, listening and dedication into. These are the kind of stories this generation needs to tell, stories that will impact people, not just stories for entertainment .With the comments it has gotten so far,I see it going places.”
The movie was premiered penultimate Friday at the Genesis Deluxe Cinema in Lagos.
