Nigerian Nollywood actress Shan George who is the producer of Grey Shadows has revealed the inspiration behind the movie idea.

According to the actress, she got the movie idea after her mother was ill from 2011 to the end of 2017 and from the process of moving from one hospital to the other made her portray what the sick people are passing through in hospitals through a movie.

The actress also revealed that her mum’s illness motivated her to produce the movie which she said is expected to be public by April. She disclosed this through a phone call with The Nation, she said

“Actually, to put it in a very simple sense, it’s about the negligence of medical practitioners towards sick people generally, People that are working now in the medical sector really don’t seem to bother much about sick people because I’m imagining if you were passionate about an ill person and they bring a sick person to you, you won’t first be asking for money physically. My mum was sick for six years. So, since 2011 till towards the end of 2017, my mum had been bedridden. I saw a lot while I was in the hospital trying to take care of my mum. We actually went from one hospital to another to another to another. She spent time in a lot of different hospitals. And a lot of different reasons led to her being in different hospitals in those seven years which she ended up at the Calabar Teaching Hospital finally. And I had to also move to Calabar based on the fact that my mum was moved to Calabar by her doctor in Abuja. They moved us to Calabar so, they we practically moved there. I mean, being that we’re also from Cross River State, it was a bit easier. I got a lot of experiences from there. Also, other people own and put them into make a movie. You know how e bi na.”
