Blood Sistersstars Preach Against Domestic Violence
NIGERIAN actors Nancy Isime, Ini Dima Okojie and Daniel Etim Effiong roles were singled out in the new Netflix’s first original Nigerian series, Blood Sisters, currently waves in the entertainment industry.
The series is an ode to life in the city as it brilliantly juxtaposes the various socio- economic divides in Africa’s most famous commercial and social hub. It tells the story of two friends Sarah ( Ini Dima- Okojie) and Kemi ( Nancy Isime). Sarah is engaged to her dream man, Kola ( Deyemi Okanlawon). However, their seemingly serene union has a dark side and despite Kemi’s vocal misgivings, Sarah is determined to press on with the wedding. What follows is a heart- stopping series of catastrophic events marked by murder, love, betrayal and the test of friendship.
The actors, in a sit- down with Weekend
Beats, reflected on their roles and domestic violence in the series.
Speaking on the feeling after leaving the set, Isime said: “We were on set for almost two months and Ini and I were in character almost through, I was overwhelmed towards the end of the shoot. I was overwhelmed by
Kemi’s character. There was a day I went back to my room after leaving the set and cried because I just wanted to be free from Kemi. We were so immersed, especially in the second part where we were shooting back to back at a remote village in Lagos.
