The private screening for DINA, a new movie that advocates girl-child protection is set to hold in Lagos.

The screening, which is for Journalists and media practitioners only, will be held on March 21, 2025.

The venue is the Suncity Royal Resort, Governor Road, Ikotun, Lagos.

DINA is a compelling movie that highlights the urgent need to protect the adolescent girl child from sexual violence and societal exploitation.

Written and produced by Wilson Ukhurebor and directed by South African cinematographer MG Legend, DINA is more than just a film—it is a rallying cry for collective action against the threats young girls face.

With the theme: “What Society Does to Us,” the movie amplifies the need for stronger protective structures, policies, and community interventions to safeguard girls from harm.

At a time when gender-based violence and child exploitation remain pressing concerns, DINA serves as an eye-opener, urging stakeholders—from parents to policymakers—to prioritize the safety and well-being of young girls. Supported by the International Child Safety Report Initiative and endorsed by the Lagos State Ministry of Youths and Social Development, the film aligns with global efforts to create safer spaces for the girl child.

To ensure widespread engagement, the movie will screen publicly for organized school students and key stakeholders on April 10, 2025.

The venue is at Pefti Film Institute, Ajao Estate, Airport Road, Lagos.

Beyond these special screenings, DINA will be showcased in 10 cinemas across Lagos State, ensuring more students, educators, and policymakers engage with its critical message.

Speaking on the forthcoming screening, Wilson Ukhurebor, the producer of the movie said: “As International Women’s Day 2025 calls for “Inspiring Inclusion”, DINA aligns with this theme by urging society to break barriers and stand as a shield for the girl child. The film is not just a story—it is a movement demanding accountability, policy reforms, and a renewed commitment to protecting young girls.”
