Gradually taking you into the world of Sanctuary, so you can see and understand what it took to bring this vision to life. Today, our director @mixchavee shares a little about her experience making the film. Enjoy!

Notice how nobody has mentioned THE ACTUAL PILOT of the crashed Learjet that just went down in Palm Beach because the person piloting the plane was a MAN??? Thousands of accounts rushed to claim the plane crashed because of a female pilot, meanwhile the pilot was actually MALE.

Nigeria's biggest problem isn't simply corruption. It's the absence of consequences. Corruption thrives where accountability is optional, injustice becomes normalised, and power provides immunity.

calling a woman “creepy” because she didn’t spend her life serving a husband and raising kids is exactly why some women choose peace instead...
This bitch is 65 years old, has never been married and never had kids, and lives in a castle with her cats? That’s so creepy

The concept of arguing with men over pregnancy is incredibly hilarious.
