Nollywood Filmmaker Kemi Adekomi stands as a beacon of advocacy and change, in the ongoing battle against child sexual abuse. With her latest project, Unleashed, Adekomi is set to unleash a powerful narrative aimed at addressing the pervasive issue from a fresh perspective.
Renowned for her acclaimed advocacy film “Dark Clouds,” which was disseminated free of charge to secondary schools across Nigeria, Adekomi has been instrumental in educating and empowering children to combat this societal menace. The film not only garnered accolades domestically and internationally but also significantly impacted the lives of its young viewers.
Now, Adekomi shifts her focus to adults with her newest endeavor, “Unleashed.” Departing from the child-centric narrative of her previous work, this film delves into the long-lasting effects of childhood sexual abuse on adults. Anchored by a compelling storyline centered around a character named Akin, portrayed by the talented Nigerian actor Lateef Adedimeji, “Unleashed” promises to captivate audiences while shedding light on the complexities of trauma and its aftermath.
As the producer and director of “Unleashed,” Adekomi brings her trademark passion and dedication to the project. Supported by a talented ensemble cast including Queeneth Agbor, Sam Uche Anyamele, and Seun Kentebe, the film promises to deliver a poignant and thought-provoking narrative.
Beyond her contributions to cinema, Adekomi is a tireless advocate in the fight against child sexual abuse. Through her NGO, Olukemi Advocacy Move Against Child Sexual Abuse, she has spearheaded various initiatives, including workshops, social media campaigns, and legal interventions. Her relentless efforts have led to the successful prosecution of perpetrators and provided support to victims, earning her recognition as a leading figure in this critical cause.

Reflecting on her journey, Adekomi emphasizes that her motivation stems not from personal experience but from a profound sense of duty to protect vulnerable children. Undeterred by challenges, including threats and adversity, she remains steadfast in her mission, buoyed by her faith and determination.
As “Unleashed” prepares to make its debut, audiences eagerly anticipate another impactful contribution from Adekomi to the discourse surrounding child sexual abuse. With her multifaceted talents and unwavering commitment, she continues to inspire and lead the charge for change.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions to cinema and social advocacy, we extend our admiration and support to Kemi Adekomi, a true force for positive change in Nollywood and beyond.
