The Premier of Burning Hearts (A True Story)



So it was that Enugu Old Skool got together for a family picnic and guess who dropped by? Prince Okoye, a true Enugu boy. In our discussions, he revealed that the premier of his movie, Burning Hearts (A True Story), was coming up. I was immediately intrigued for two reasons.

1. Prince is senior brother to Nicky Okoye who Og and I played a lot with when we were young and back then we looked up to him as a senior boy. And many years later I get the chance to entertain him in my home only to find out that he is now directing movies.

2. A True Story caught my eye as I believe we need our creative giants in Nigeria to start to use true stories to highlight the plight of our society.

So I am really looking forward to this premier with excitement at the prospect of seeing a movie co-filmed in my two home cities - Enugu and London.

The preview for the movie is available below:
