Faith Itohan’s Groundbreaking Psycho Drama ‘Unknown Pandemic’ Soon To Hit Screens [BTS PHOTOS]

Published

on

In a groundbreaking production helmed by film producer Faith Itohan and acclaimed film director Tunde Olaoye, Nollywood is again prepared to shed light on a silent yet prevalent threat in society – the Unknown Pandemic.

The soon-to-be-released film starring Kehinde Bankole and Swanky JKA is a thought-provoking cinematic masterpiece that analyses the delicate relationship between culture and love.

Aptly titled ‘Unknown Pandemic’, the film navigates the intricate web of human emotions and societal norms in the face of an unseen adversary.

The synopsis of the movie teases at the ambiguity surrounding this mysterious pandemic, which has left many grappling with its implications. Director Tunde Olaoye masterfully orchestrates a narrative that refuses to shy away from the uncomfortable truths, challenging viewers to confront the harsh realities of a world where the line between love and devastation is blurred.

Having wrapped up principal photography in December, 2023, the film is in its final post-production phase.

The story follows the life of Ebi, as played by Bankole. She embodies resilience amidst the chaos inflicted by the unknown pandemic. Her blossoming romance with Fred, played by the talented Swanky JKA, serves as a poignant backdrop against which the complexities of love and pain are explored.

As the tale unfolds, viewers are confronted with profound questions: Does love inherently come with pain? Are there unseen demons lurking beneath the surface of seemingly tranquil waters? Through the compelling performances of the cast, the audience is invited to ponder these existential queries and grapple with the harsh truths they unveil.

With its unflinching portrayal of the human condition, this film is poised to leave a lasting impact on audiences, igniting conversations and inspiring action in the fight against the Unknown Pandemic.

Alhaja Sherifat Andu, the beautiful, hardworking, workaholic behind Arabel the one stop Islamic shop has just completed a series titled “Journey into Light” which will be released during the Ramadan.

This is coming after her first production “2 Aishat’s” was released on Amazon.

Through heartfelt storytelling and authentic portrayals, “Journey into Light” helps viewers to reflect on their spiritual paths and the enduring strength found in the pursuit of enlightenment. With its compelling narratives, the series serves as an important reminder of the richness of Islamic practices and the power of faith to guide and sustain us through life’s trials.

From the transformative power of gratitude amidst personal struggles to the complexities of sisterhood tested by jealousy and gossip, each episode immerses viewers in narratives that resonate with universal themes of resilience, gratitude, forgiveness, and spiritual growth.

As characters confront challenges in their relationships, careers, and personal aspirations, they draw strength from their faith, community, and the wisdom of Islamic teachings.

Journey Into Light will debut on ALEEFTV on YouTube during the month of Ramadan, 2024.

Journey Into Light is a production of ARABEL FILMS, the producer of the film THE TWO AISHAS, a company who has carved a niche for itself as an Islamic film production company.

Czech Republic’s Krystyna Pyszkova Crowned Miss World 2024 [PHOTOS]

Published

on

Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic, at a spectacular ceremony in India on Saturday, became victorious in the Miss World 2024 competition, beating out Indian competitor Sini Shetty, who placed in the top 8.

Yasmina Zaytoun, Miss Lebanon, placed first runner-up in the competition.

Press Trust of India reported on Saturday that Pyszkova was crowned as the next Miss World by Karolina Bielawska, the current Miss World from Poland, during the glamorous finale.

After Tatana Kucharova’s triumph in 2006, her victory signifies the second time a woman from the Czech Republic has taken home the Miss World title.

Expressing her astonishment at winning the prestigious title, Pyszkova, who is in her twenties, confessed it was beyond her expectations.

During the pageant, Pyszkova’s ‘Beauty With A Purpose’ project emphasized “quality education for children,” and she pledged to utilize her platform as Miss World to amplify awareness for this cause.

Speaking to reporters after the finale, Pyszkova shared her excitement about the supportive community of Miss World contestants, vowing to continue her advocacy work.

“So far, we have helped 320 children. Through the Miss World platform, I’ll be able to help as many children as possible…

“The Miss World sisterhood is such an empowering community. I think we will be sharing this moment forever because we experienced so many things. We experienced this incredible country, India, together. I’ll be happy to come back soon,” Pyszkova told reporters here after the finale.

According to the official Miss World website, Pyszkova, a Czech model, is pursuing degrees in law and business administration and is the founder of the Krystyna Pyszko Foundation.

Fluent in English, Polish, Slovak, and German, Pyszkova advocates for sustainable development through education, citing her proudest moment as the establishment of an English school for underprivileged children in Tanzania, where she volunteered.

“Her proudest moment was opening an English school for underprivileged children in Tanzania where she also volunteered. She enjoys playing the transverse flute and the violin, and has a passion for music and art having spent nine years in an art academy,” read Pyszkova’s profile on the website.

India, which hosted the event after a gap of 28 years, was represented by 22-year-old Shetty.

The 71st Miss World pageant, featuring contestants from 112 countries, took place at the Jio World Convention Centre in BKC, with Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar and Miss World 2013 Megan Young from the Philippines as hosts.
