Uche Jombo is the dynamite that explodes in Nollywood movies. She leaves a long lasting impression on the viewer of her movies and I actually gave her excellent marks for her gripping "Damage" trilogy (damage,My life my damage, My country their damage) on the traumatic consequences of domestic violence in homes: a socioeconomic cause thats very personal to her. "My life, My Damage" deals with drugs and HIV; while "My Country, Their Damage" is on human trafficking and human labour. Uche Jombo is the star of prolific Nollywood filmmaker Chico Ejiro's latest movie "When Dreams Fall Apart' " which reminds me of many unforgettable circumstances in relationships. The film has already won awards, including the Best Movie Award in Nigeria at the 2013 Abuja International Film Festival. When dreams fall apart is a story about a girl on the run, to save her life. When her uncle whom she's living with died, the death was framed on her s...
