Por Uma Vida Melhor

Sharon Ooja (Oloture) brings her expert acting skills into this one, alongside supporting actress Omowunmi Dada (Linda) who also did a great job. Even though it's not based on true life story, the movie centers around things that happen in our world and gets almost unspoken of daily. Here, the director Kenneth Gyang doesn't care about personal feelings, but goes straight to give us a raw and unblemished look into this brutal ordeal on human trafficking, while still leaving room for lots of emotions. Pure art and a good premise, as most movies should be. The summary is these things happen and even if it sucks, that's how life is, this film shows us just that! My ratings may seem harsh, because I found some terrible plot holes, which would be spoiling it if I discussed them, but I think by international standards, the rating is fine. It's a quality movie, watch it with an open mind.

Oloture is an excellent movie that provides a much needed view into human trafficking in Nigeria. Its graphic point of view shots really put you in the seat of women being trafficked.

There were no words minced and no truth, decorated falsely. This teaches a whole lot of message and exposure to the human trafficking world! Plus Sharon Ooja is such an exceptional actress.

I've watched a lot of Nigerian films. The quality can vary in terms of storyline, cinematography, actual acting, sound quality. This film broke the mould in all those respects. It's also a harsh intro to the forces which lead to human trafficking, modern slavery and all the horrors of modern W Africa and elsewhere that can't be ignored There is a caveat....there are some scenes which I had to skip through.But it's great to see 'Nollywood' at its best I retract that. This isn't 'Nollywood'. It's world cinema from W Africa and deserves recognition for being up there with some of the best films of the year worldwide from anywhere.

Oloture examines the coercion of women into sex trafficking networks, claims victim could be literate or illiterate ,prostitute or not once they get caught in the web it could hold on to them prodded by an ineffective/indifferent "system".

Firstly,l think going undercover as a prostitute is ridiculous ,even worse, the character does not understand the implication of being undercover as a prostitute. She is willfully undercover as a prostitute but panics every time she has to actually prostitute, seemed illogical.

The orgy-like scene should have been cut out(if you can't do it right leave it out),the toilet rendezvous with the chief(where he gets beat up) was def unnecessary too, why does the guy have to be in love with the girl ? Clicheeeee
