He said his company, which was founded in 2009, is a Christian production company which focuses on promoting the African entertainment industry.
The Sierra Leonean born added that his group uses the arts to address the challenges that confront African youths.

?This film is very important for our kids,? she said.
Executive Producer Victor Peacock also narrated his personal experience in the US in an interview.
