The movie was filmed with high-end film equipment and locations, forging a collaboration of professional expertise and spiritual consecration, and stars a number of popular Christian Word and Music Ministers.
According to the writer, producer and director of Chains movie, Bright Wonder Obasi, “Films and the media industry has been utilized across ages to shape the culture and norms of societies. Films have become more influencers of norms and values in the society than even the Sunday School classroom. Every content is designed to drive an AGENDA; hence the reason we have to be Intentional. And since darkness is the absence of light, then the problem with the world is never the darkness, but the bearers of the light who have refused to shine the light, especially in the market place, so the darkness might give way. If people knew how much God loves them, and the extent He would go to ensure that they have a good life, they most definitely will be drawn to Him and love Him. CHAINS is a highly spiritual movie that has come as a beacon of light at such a time as this, to stir up a revolution in the film industry, bringing the love of God to cinemas, and seeding the emergence of more Christ-centric films in main stream distribution; both cinemas and streaming platforms.
CHAINS movie, which is distributed by Silverbird Distribution, will have its Nigeria premiere in Abuja and Lagos, before commencing its theatrical run across cinemas in Nigeria from August 16, 2024. Afterwards, the movie will commence a tour across Africa, The US, UK, Canada, and more.
