A few days ago, pictures of Yvonne Nelson on set with Akon, Viva Bianca and Djimon Hounsou made headlines all across Africa.
The set is for a new Jeta Amata movie currently being shot on the Rene Veluzat Motion Picture Ranch in California.
Titled ‘Road to Redemption’ (aka The Curse), the film is about Samantha, a medical school graduate who decides to go on a volunteer mission in Nigeria.
She arrives in the village to meet issues of Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). After realizing she can make a difference in the lives of suffering young women who will never have her advantages, Samantha drags one small corner of the world into the modern era with dramatic consequences.
