Nollywood actress and filmmaker Ini Edo appeals to the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) and the public to allow her newly released film, A Very Dirty Christmas, continue screening nationwide, insisting it does not ridicule Christianity.
In an emotional video shared on Instagram, she urges critics to watch the film before judging, stressing that the controversy stems from the title rather than the content.
Edo says the movie focuses on family conflicts and hidden secrets, not religious mockery, and expresses willingness to change the title if required.
She highlights the financial impact of a withdrawal, noting the film is already showing in over 70 cinemas, and apologises to anyone offended, reaffirming her Christian faith while asking regulators for time and fair consideration.
