#FRK The Movie continues to push the boundaries of success in the biopic genre, redefining the modern story telling and cinematic experience. The energy at NuMetro 4 Hyde Park, Jo’Burg, was electric as the audience gathered for the screening of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti by BAP Productions at the Jo’Burg Film Festival. It wasn’t just a film—it was a moment of history, a celebration of legacy, and a powerful reminder that the voices of African heroines will never fade.

Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a force—an educator, a feminist, and a revolutionary who defied colonial rule and patriarchal systems to fight for women’s rights in Nigeria. Her story is one that should echo across the world, inspiring every woman to embrace her strength, defy limits, and demand her place at the table.

In a time where women’s voices are still being silenced, this film is a bold statement: we are here, we will rise, and our stories will be told. Watching her life unfold on screen was more than entertainment—it was empowerment. The significance of showcasing African heroines cannot be overstated. Representation matters. Stories like these remind us that women have always led, fought, and shaped history.

The applause that followed the screening was not just for the film but for every woman who has ever dared to challenge the status quo. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti is not just a film—it is a movement. A global audience needs to see this, to witness the strength of African women, and to be reminded that the fight for equality and justice is far from over.

A special shout-out to Makin Soyinka, Femi Odugbemi, Jahman Anikulapo, and all the incredible guests, dignitaries, friends, family, and personalities who graced the screening with their presence. Such a gracious and engaged audience made this experience even more remarkable.

Let the world watch, learn, and be inspired. Because when women’s voices are heard, boundaries are broken, and the world changes.
