The premiere of Chigozie
Atuanya’s Igbo language production, Chetanna, took place on July 25,
2014, at the inaugural World Igbo Festival of Arts and Culture, which
was held at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia. The film
was screened to a packed audience, which included many dignitaries of
Igbo extraction from Nigeria and the diaspora.
The premiere was a resounding success, and the movie held the audience spellbound for its duration. The audience enjoyed the movie so much that they burst into a spontaneous round of applause, which lasted for several minutes, after the movie ended.
Following the successful
premiere of the movie in Virginia, Chigozie Atuanya, will be taking the
movie on a tour of several US cities starting in September. It has
already been confirmed that the movie will premiere in Houston on October 11,2014 at
the Igbo Catholic Community Center, 8250 Creekbend Drive. Following the
US tour, the movie will be premiered in the following Nigerian cities –
Lagos, Awka, Aba, Enugu, and Umuahia.

Chetanna was directed by
Ikechukwu Onyeka, and it stars Chigozie Atuanya, Queen Nwokoye, Ebube
Nwagbo, Ebele Okaro-Onyiuke, and Chinwe Owoh. It is the gripping tale of
an American returnee whose unbridled past in America has come to haunt
his present in Africa. A marriage gone sour; greed gives way to
unprovoked vendetta and deep-rooted deceit until nemesis comes knocking
while true love is caught in the web of mindless scheming.
THE TRAILER IS A MUST WATCH....Ebube sabi slap oooo
