“To Love And Protect,” a new film starrring Ibrahim Suleiman and Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman, has been officially selected for screening at the London International Pan African Film Festival (London PAFF).
The gripping narrative centres on a pregnant woman grappling with the heart-wrenching loss of a previous pregnancy. In a dramatic turn of events, she goes into sudden labour and is compelled to give birth at an unfamiliar hospital. Chaos ensues when she is informed that her newborn has died shortly after birth.
