Freedom
Foundation, a faith based nonprofit organization of the House of Freedom, will on
the 21st of January publicly premiere a documentary series ‘My Lagos
Diaries’, at the FilmHouse IMAX Cinema, Lekki, Lagos.
According to Dr
Tony Rapu, Senior Pastor at This Present House, ‘My Lagos Diaries is a first-hand experience of challenges people
face trying to survive in the city of Lagos. Since inception, the Freedom
Foundation has transformed and positively impacted several lives in
impoverished communities including but not limited to Ejigbo, Ijora, Iwaya,
Bariga and Somolu, and led to the creation of this video journal which
documents 10 years of my team and I’s experiences in these areas’.
‘My Lagos
Diaries’ ultimate goal is to sensitize the general public about the struggles
of these underprivileged persons while providing an opportunity for interested
individuals and organizations to support Freedom Foundation’s vision via
donations and funding.
The premiere
will launch the 13 week documentary series which will begin airing online on
Freedom Foundation’s YouTube channel as well as on television from the end of
February. It will tell some of the real stories of rehabilitated prostitutes,
armed robbers, drug addicts, beggars and other neglected individuals in the
society.
The premiere will
also feature a private viewing of “Reflections”, a unique photo exhibition by
Kelechi Amadi-Obi where he uses notable celebrities as models to depict thought
provoking poverty scenarios. This exhibition is designed to build further awareness
and trigger social change and soul searching amongst Nigerians.
