KAMBILI

KAMBILI explores the significance of a survivor's voice and it being a crucial step to healing and rehabilitation.

The more survivors use their voice, the less power such horrific experiences have over them.
KAMBILI, a name from the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria draws heavily from its meaning - Let me live - to further
corroborate her protagonist's quest to rise above the trauma and stigma.
Kambili lives and finds strength in her Voice.

Director Statement

KAMBILI was a leap of faith born out of the desire to just 'do' regardless of inexperience.
It was a statement to myself that i could write magic, produce and direct it.
