STRAIN

A family of four is at a nature park to celebrate the daughter’s 10th birthday when the 6-year-old son suddenly slumps. At the hospital, the doctor informs the family that he has Sickle Cell Disease. His parents are confused because only one of them is a carrier of the sickle cell gene. The family tries to adapt to their new reality, but his situation worsens, and he suffers a stroke. This puts a strain on their relationship and finances. The silver lining is a bone marrow transplant, but first they must find a suitable donor and the funds for the procedure.

Directed by Uduak-obong Patrick and with a star-studded cast that includes Okey Uzoeshi, Shushu Abubakar, Angel Onyi Unigwe, Nifemi Lawal, Alex Osifo, Gloria Anozie-Young, Bimbo Akintola & Chinonso Egemba (Aproko Dr.), this film will help you rediscover hope against hope.
