Group set to premiere movie on terrorism

Abuja – A group, Student in Nigeria Re-awakening
Initiative (STINRI), on Thursday in Abuja, said it was set
to premier a movie entitled "Dance of the Vipers" aimed
at fighting terrorism in the country.
The Chairman, Board of Trustees of STINRI, Mr Nathan
Oguwike, disclosed this at a news conference.
Oguwike, who was also the screenplay writer of the
movie, said that the movie would expose the
unattractiveness of terrorism.
He said that the aim was to dissuade young people from
joining or being used by Boko Haram and its sponsors.
He added that "we want to use the movie to spread the
message that Nigerians must resist any group who seeks
to use intimidation as a means of gaining power.''
He explained that the movie would also help the
citizenry to take active steps toward fighting terrorism.
He said "the movie is a project anchored on strategic
and responsible student participation in nation
building.''
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that "Dance
of Vipers" is an epic movie set in pre-colonial Igbo
community.
The movie is entirely a work of fiction that mirrors the
present-day Nigeria with the message that Nigerians
must resist the use of intimidation as means of gaining
power.
Divided into six parts with each part containing 13
episodes, the movie will premier at the Silver Bird
Cinema, Abuja, before the end of January. (NAN)
