This is happening in a month regarded as ‘domestic violence month’ in the United States. Damage, which had a spectacular premiere in Lagos and London, will hit New York on October 7, Kentucky October 15, Houston, Atlanta, and Philadelphia October 21. Already, tickets for the event are on sale online: www.damagemovietickets.com.
Other places the movie will be showing include Staten Island, Minneapolis, Brookdale Cinema 8 and Fun Asia Bollywood Cinema 6. Red Carpet dates include an after party, which will be attended by members of the cast, the movie and after party tickets can also be purchased online.
When asked about her decision to take Damage on a tour of the United States, Uche said, “It is just a way of spreading the message against domestic violence, because if we look at it, it is truly a global problem. Also, apart from showing the movie in the United States, there would also be sale of merchandise, which would further spread the message to stop domestic violence. This would not only raise awareness on domestic violence, but also serve as means of raising funds that would be contributed toward the cause.
Uche Jombo, who produced the movie, also acted in it alongside some of Nollywood’s best, including Tonto Dike, Basorge Tariah Jr, and Kalu Ikeagwu. Damage presents love and domestic violence in such a manner that had never been seen in Nollywood. It is the story of a man (Kalu Ikeagwu) and his wife (Uche Jombo), who loves each other immensely, but their communication channel is flawed as there is always one thing or the other to fight about, and this has serious psychological effect on their children, which leads to irreplaceable loss.
When asked how she felt about Damage, Uche said, “I am very proud of what we have achieved, there is no better word to describe how I feel when I see the turnout of people coming to watch the movie, and I am sure all those involved in the production of the film would definitely feel the same way.”
