The cast includes Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman, Chico Aligwekwe, Stan Nze, Tina Mba, Daniel Etim Effiong, Beverly Osu, Ric Hassani, Uche Chika Elumelu, and Inem King.
Produced by Winifred Nkiru Ajakpovi and Kasum, “The Serpent Gift” is written by Stephen Okonkwo and Hawk Eye, with distribution handled by Nile Entertainment.
According to the director, the film will address questions rarely asked within families and bring hidden tensions to light.
