Hello Folks!
It’s finally here!BRAIN DRAIN BIRTHS IN THE BIG APPLE!!
If you’re in New York City tomorrow (Harlem to be precise) join us to see the much acclaimed documentary Brain Drain for its BIG APPLE premiere as it was selected to be the closing film for the 31st edition of the African Film Festival by Mahen Bonetti and her team of festival curators. I am indeed honored.
The journey of making Brain Drain the documentary started pre covid and came to head when it was screened at the the auditorium of the United Nations HQ Abuja August 2023 after which it made its US premiere at the American Film institute and cultural center downtown Silver Spring Md on October 1st 2023, commemorating Nigerian’s 63rd independence anniversary.
Much has been written about the negativity associated with Brain Drain, but our documentary explores not just that theme but delves into other aspects of the scourge and how African leaders can use turn it around, and in the process generated the sequel titled Brain Gain which premieres at the AFI downtown Silver Spring on July 21st 2024.
I look forward to seeing all you Nigerian and African patriots in the big apple on Saturday at the African Center, Harlem.
We are giving away Brain Drain souvenir Tee shirts to the first 20 guests.
The event is free!🇳🇬 to the 🌎!!
