Omugwo

The film is based on the Igbo tradition of Omugwo, a practice during which postpartum care is provided to a new mother, especially first time mothers.

Directed by Kunle Afolayan, Omugwo leans on a strong ensemble — Bosede Akinremi, Henry Alade, Omowunmi Dada — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
