Dry (2014 film)

[2] The film's theme focuses on Vesicovaginal fistula condition and underaged marriage among young women, narrating the ordeal of a thirteen-year-old girl.

[3] A thirteen-year-old girl, Halima (Zubaida Ibrahim Fagge), is married off to Sani (Tijjani Faraga) a 60-year-old man, who constantly rapes her, by her poor uneducated parents.

Zara (Stephanie Okereke), a medical doctor who also suffered a horrific childhood meets Halima; she tries to help her get through her situation and also save other young women under such circumstance.

[4] She stated: "I have been to the North and to other parts of the country, and I have seen first-hand how this health issue defies normal living for girls and women of different ages.

I have decided to share their stories through DRY" "The issue might seem controversial, but if it will set one girl free and open the minds of the people, and also instruct different bodies and individuals to take action, then the movie would have served its purpose".

[1] The opening scenes which were initially meant to be shot in Los Angeles were later moved to Aberystwyth, Wales by the line producers, Akanimo Odon and Murtza Ali Ghaznavi.

[2][8][9][10] Stephanie Okereke coincidentally just concluded the principal photography of the film at the time, so she released a RAW footage teaser trailer to lend her voice against the "alleged bill".

The film will be used as an educational tool to create awareness and bring to consciousness the degrading experience young unprivileged women go through in Africa during childbirth".
