"As a writer, I’m always fascinated by small stories told with a giant heart...My aim is to give voice to ”voiceless” and ”invisible" people that never get acknowledged or appreciated for their contributions by the societies because they seem to have less or because they’re not ”worth it”. So, for me, it was really important to help this small family in Djibouti have their voice heard by the world, so that many people in many different parts of the world can connect with them or relate and go « Ah, yes, so we’re not the only ones »"

Khadar Ayderus Ahmed, Director of The Gravedigger’s Wife

Draft:Portal:African cinema/Selected_quotes/5 "We all know what Nollywood is supposed to represent — it’s the VHS films that were made back in the day. So, to still be called Nollywood, for me, is a no. We need to use terms like African filmmakers or Nigerian filmmakers"

Mo Abudu, Owner of Ebonylife TV
