'93 Days' relays in its plot the resilient spirit of a female Nigerian doctor, Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh (Bimbo Akintola), her impassioned efforts invested towards containing the spread of the virulent Ebola virus in Nigeria. The movie serves as window into the world of the infected Ebola victims who subsequently contracted the virus in the course of saving the life of infected Liberian diplomat, Patrick Sawyer (Keppy Ekpeyong); detailing the grueling moments of pain, agony and betrayal. 



Showcasing top local actors and a select few foreign actors in its lineup, 93 days boasts of a sound assemblage of seasoned talents. With contributions from the likes of Bimbo Akintola, Danny Glover, Somkhele Idhalama and Tim Reid, ‘93 days’ is set to thrill Nigerians whilst serving as an obelisk in honor of our fallen heroes.


The movie had its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Friday, September 9, 2016 at the Isabel Bader Theatre to rave reviews. Speaking on the film’s brilliant performance at TIFF, Director Steve Gukas said: “Dotun and I, just before we left from the last screening, this gentleman walked up to us, [shook] my hands and said, ‘thank you for making this film. I have seen several films here, this is the best one I have seen.’ ” Gukas continued, “I am hoping this film gets a nomination for the Oscars.”

Co-Produced by Steve Gukas, Bolanle Austen-Peters, Pemon Rami and Dotun Olakunri with Screenplay by Paul Rawlston.
