Nollywood superstars, Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde team up for the first time in recent years in ‘Ije’, a new movie by Chineze Anyaene.

The movie, shot in America and Nigeria, follows the lives of two Nigerian sisters, Chioma and Anya. The latter relocates to the United States in search of the American dream, but ends up in jail on charges of murder. This compels Chioma to travel to the US to help secure her sister’s freedom, with the help of a young, raw attorney.
