Movie: Amina World Premiere In London

On Wednesday 17th October 2012, the world famous Empire Cinema in Leicester Square will witness a unique collaboration, with the world premiere of the Nigerian/British production, Amina. Amina is a psychological drama featuring Nollywood megastars Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and Van Vicker alongside top British movie stars Wil Johnson, Vincent Regan and Alison Carroll (aka Lara Croft).

Amina can best be described as a British film with Nollywood sensibilities. Written, produced and directed by Christian Ashaiku, an innovative Nigerian-born London-based filmmaker; Amina tells a deeply emotional and dramatic story dealing with the themes of love, loss and redemption.
