In line with efforts to unite people worldwide to fight against HIV and as required on World Aids Day which falls on Monday, 1st December for something to be done to mark this day—Shirley Frimpong-Manso will be premiering her HIV/AIDS themed movie, ‘LOVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT’ at the Odeon Cinema, Greenwich in London on Friday, 28th November, 2014.
And GhanaCelebrities.Com is giving out 5 pairs of tickets (total of 10) to some of our lucky UK readers to be able to attend the premiere and enjoy the experience.
Cast members of the movie-Joselyn Dumas, John Dumelo, OC Ukeje and others—including the director-Shirley Frimpong Manso will all be attending, and you can catch them on the red carpet which starts at 9pm.
‘LOVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT’ tells a poignant story about moving on when there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. In the movie, a young surgeon’s chance meeting with her ex-boyfriend throws her world into absolute chaos when she makes a horrible discovery about her past and what could be the end of a great career, and beautiful marriage.
LOVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT is a must watch movie and as I stated in my Review of the movie “I have long predicted and in a way hoped for a change in the improbable manner the African HIV/AIDS story has been told by many African film-makers. Interestingly, Shirley Frimpong Manso has taken up the challenge to tell the story in a way that is pulsing to the heart—and captivating to the mind in her latest movie-LOVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I am yet to meet a single person who is not a party to the general consensus that education on HIV/AIDS in Africa, though has improved over the years, continues to be largely ineffective—and apart from blaming certain religious teachings such as “Aids is bad but not as bad as the use of condoms” for the ineffective outreach, the architecture employed for the purpose of mass education on this diabolical disease seems not to be working.
Many movies and documentaries have taken up the subject of creating HIV/AIDS awareness and in doing so; have failed to make impact with their messages simply because of the manner in which the stories are told—without substantially taking into consideration the societal changes and mannerisms that cannot be ignored in order to bring the story to the hearts of the receivers.”
But once again, Shirley Frimpong-Manso successfully tells the story in a way that you wouldn’t have it presented like that anywhere.
