Director Statement

Given the difficulties of Nigeria, Ifeme C.S. got sparked with the idea of idea of I DON'T WANT TO BE BORN.
What will an unborn child do if he or she has seen their drastic death and does not want to come to our world to suffer.
It is also a direct political message for the Nigerian politicians to remind them of how their actions are directly affecting the lives of children unborn.

Ifeme C.S. wrote the screenplay in 2019 just before the 2020 End Sars Protests and the story became even more relevant after the terrible events that occurred throughout Nigeria during that period.

Fast foward to 2024 and several projects later, Ifeme C.S. shared the screenplay with Deyemi Okanlawon who he worked with on All's Fair In Love and Deyemi loved the story and decided to jump on board to pass this powerful message.
