STRONG- When a man chooses his family over his wife, it’s rarely just loyalty, it’s comfort.
They protect him… and sometimes, they protect his secrets.
But every story has layers.
What you see isn’t always the truth.
So when trouble comes for SOTA,
should LAMI stand by him… or choose herself?
MAFARKI (Series)

LAMI SAWA (Sophie Alakija), a radiant and accomplished architect, enjoys a seemingly idyllic life with her husband, SOTA SAWA (Chris Okabue). Their marriage is a testament to love and faith, but their world crumbles when Sota is accused of a heinous crime. As evidence mounts against Sota, and the court of public opinion turns harsh, Lami finds herself torn between loyalty and doubt. Undeterred by the apparent betrayal, she embarks on a relentless quest to defend the man she loves. But Lami is not ready for what unravels next. STRONG! Is a tale of the lengths one will go to protect the sacred bonds of marriage. #strongthemovie #dimbokarachiatiya #nollywoodcinema #itk #etc

CAST REVEAL: STRONG
We are proud to officially unveil the lead cast of our upcoming feature film, STRONG, a powerful continuation of the story that first moved audiences in the award winning DRAWING STRENGHT.
At the heart of STRONG, we welcome back SOPHIE ALAKIJA and CHRIS OKAGBUE, whose unforgettable performances in Drawing Strength brought depth, honesty, and life to characters that resonated far beyond the screen.
Joining them is an extraordinary lineup of talent:
FAÉ OLUMIDE, whose poise and brilliance have taken Nollywood by storm.
AHIDE ADUM, seen like never before as the definitive, no nonsense presidential campaign manager.
Veteran Jos actor EDWARD FOM, embodying the patriarch of the family with commanding presence and grace, alongside a riveting supporting cast, Eva Ibiam, Callistus Akunaeziri, Norah Igho, and Onyiye Ezekwe.
STRONG is more than a film, it is a story of resilience, faith, and the enduring power of human connection. It will challenge you, move you, and ultimately revive your trust in people, no matter how difficult the situation may seem.
