It is with great pleasure that we are announcing the premiere and we believe Afua’s Diary will speak to a diverse audience.”

Afua’s Diary is a Pixelex Aspect and Bibi Shadbolt production, and will premiere in the UK on the 5th December at the Greenwich Odeon Cinema. This film will be distributed by Talking Drum Entertainment.
