REEL UNITY PAIR: Ije, Finding Fellowship

Finding Fellowship

"We haven't been this divided since 1968." Unfortunately, this has become a common refrain. Finding Fellowship goes back in time to 1968, an unmistakably divided time of student protest and racial unrest, to share the remarkable story of three racially segregated churches in Quince Orchard, Maryland coming together in the wake of Martin Luther King's assassination. Their decision to merge will surprise you. Their dedication to stay together will inspire you. 

Finding Fellowship is a story of the possible that reminds us that even in these divided times, the opportunity and responsibility to come together -- heart to heart and hand to hand -- rests within each of us.

Ije

In the wake of the 2020 End SARS protests against Nigerian police brutality, Ije learns that she has been admitted to pursue her education in an Ivy League School in the United States. Motivated by Chika, her outgoing cousin and roommate, Ije agrees to go out in Lagos to celebrate this good news.

At the club, they meet two young men (Ema and John) with whom they immediately hit it off and have a good time. Sparks fly between Ije and John as they experience strong chemistry. So, at the end of the night, John offers to drive Ije and Chika home.

However, during the drive, they are stopped by two Nigerian police officers.
