Doyin Amodu explains reason for making movie about prison reforms

Actress and filmmaker, Doyin Amodu, has opened up on her upcoming project, which focuses on prison reforms.

The United Kingdom-based thespian and president of the UK chapter of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria said she is shooting the movie to shed light on that aspect of society.

Her words, “As an accomplished filmmaker, I will not relent in giving my best to the industry. My next film project titled, ‘Inmate’, will focus on the lives of prisoners, delving deeply into the reasons behind their incarceration.

“This production, aimed at over-the-top distribution, will feature top Nigerian talents and will be filmed across the country using high-end cinematography equipment.

“This is a project that will cost over N200m. It is currently weighing on my mind, and I won’t rest until I bring it to fruition.”

Furthermore, the actress reacted to her recent appointment as the matron of a non-governmental organization, HPAN-UK.

“Becoming the matron of HPAN-UK is a privilege. I had been a renowned humanitarian officer committed to serving those in need. My extensive contributions to humanitarian services, through my ‘Hope at Twilight’ initiative, have significantly impacted the lives of many, particularly the elderly and unsung heroes within our society. Therefore, becoming a matron of the Hospital and Prison Welfare Initiative is an extension of my services to humanity,” she said.
