“God’s Wife,” a new film by Dika Ofoma, is an official S16 Film Festival 2024 selection and will premiere at this year’s event.
Written and directed by Dika Ofoma, and co-produced alongside Sandra Baake Aminarh and Onyinye Odokoro, “God’s Wife” tells the heart-wrenching story of a young widow torn between her Catholic beliefs and the oppressive demands of tradition. The film draws inspiration from a news article about a widow ostracised by her in-laws, and Dika uses this medium to spotlight these inhumanities in society and demand a recourse.
With cinematography by Joe Penny and editing by Franklin Ogalanya and Raymond Yusuff, “God’s Wife” promises to be a compelling highlight of the festival.
