The Secret Princess is a most see family film set
for release in cinemas across Nigeria this month
from the 24th of June. Perfect for school trips.
Children in Nigeria are too often neglected when it
comes to educating with entertainment. Despite
the Nigerian film industry been the 3rd largest in
the world you will struggle to find any films made
for children.
This is why this is one of the most important films
in the history of Nollywood
with a production spanning four years and a
relatively high production budget which is reflected
in the quality of the movie.
The Secret Princess adapted from the book with
the same title is a Tale of Sade a Princess that
goes through rejection and hence has to live out
her life in the jungle while in her place a farmers
son lives a life of luxury as the Prince. The story
brings to the fore front many delicate topics in a
subtle way, with plots which include a retreat into
the forest but a far cry from the true story of the
Kidnapped Chibok girls, and a tale of witch
accusation which has been a common occurrence
in Africa for centuries and with terrible
consequences such as child abandonment and
child abuse; a far cry from the Disney like wicked
witch mixing candies. It also deals with the inferior
treatment of the female child as compared to male
child.
The Secret Princess produced by TransTales
Entertainment is 2016 winner of World Bank award
for best feature animation film at the KingstOOn
animation festival in Jamaica.
