Stigma (2013 film)

Stigma is a 2013 Nigerian drama film based on the discrimination faced by persons living with HIV virus in a village in Rivers State.

Ibiso's daughter, Vanessa (Jackie Appiah) continues to refuse the advances of Ebiye (Daniel Braid) towards her because she doesn't want to make the marital mistakes of her mother.

As the news of the presence of HIV in Ibiso's family spreads across the village, there is a wide level of discrimination against Vanessa and her two siblings.

In Port Harcourt, Vanessa is introduced to Pastor Jude (Clem Ohameze) by Dr. Jide, who also registers her in an interactive social group for people living with AIDS.

It was released on 1 December 2013 in Port Harcourt to commemorate the World Aids Day in Rivers State.
