Family on Fire -The Movie Premier

Even though the event happened some two weeks back, it is still quite fresh in my head because it was such an outstanding movie or because the producer is such a man of excellence who made sure the premier was interesting and breathtaking all the way or because it was a movie centered on good values............i really can't place my hands on it,...... but it was such a night!


Oh! did i mention the fact that i took a whole six years to get the movie out?, not for lack of respect for time but for the fact that someone believes that much in excellence that they would rather not release the movie than produce a 'wishy-washy' movie to the public. And for that, was i grateful or what?! I have been a victim of some horribly-produced Nigerian movies that left me either feeling robbed or abused for the fact that i even subjected to watching it .....you know those ones you see at the salon and you can help listen to the hairdresser re-narrating to you?.......yeah, those! 

Anyway, Family on Fire' centers on young people make careless decisions without considering the consequences of their action. A Young man does the unthinkable by using his illiterate mum to lift drug into a foreign country and successfully so too. It turns out that the family abroad discovered the drugs before he got a chance to move it out of the house and a younger boy with no record of bad behavior stole and traded the drugs cheaply. 


The whole family is thrown into a catastrophe as the Baron and other drug dealers seek to regain possession. Outrage! Murder! Deaths! Police! Illegality! and so on unfolds and tears a once happy and thriving family apart!

Family on Fire is such is an unusual but apt movie not because of the story line but because it is not intended to be at the cinema, which is another thing that distinguishes the producer as a man of vision. According to Mr. Tade Ogidan, 'we do not want the movie to be perceived or viewed for entertainment alone but as one that teaches value and serves as a wake up call for parents to take charge and live up to the realities of the decadence in our society'


The movie is a must watch for every family and i say this with a lot of emphasis especially because of the character of 'Bayo' - the good boy turned bad given a circumstance he was not prepared for.
