Chizoba

Tagline: A Redeemer’s Redemption

Logline: A troubled 14-year-old girl strives for recovery under the guidance of a compassionate church member, but internal struggles and perceived betrayals threaten her path to redemption.

Fourteen-year-old Chizoba’s life has been scarred by abuse and addiction. When her parents send her to live with Mummy IJ, a devoted church member, Chizoba begins her path to recovery. However, feelings of betrayal and the weight of past mistakes lead her to flee, only to confront deeper truths about herself and those who tried to help her. Through loss and revelation, Chizoba discovers that redemption is a journey intertwined with understanding and forgiveness.
