Ogun, an acclaimed director with roots in both Film and Television was given the award at the Golden Movie Awards ceremony held on Saturday \u00a0June 27 at the State House banquet hall in Accra.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u00a0\u201cAWDF African Women in Film Award,\u201d<\/b> honours an African woman whose work demonstrates measurable efforts to change the narrative and challenge stereotypes about \u00a0African women. Tope was chosen for her outspoken voice against domestic abuse in Nigeria, an issue she brilliantly addressed in the 2014 short film New Horizons<\/a>, a story about four women\u2019s experiences with abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing the recipient of AWDF’s first African Woman In Film Award is a true honour for me, and it’s a big surprise to learn that one is recognised and celebrated for being true to oneself and calling and passion and profession, \u201d Ogun told AWDF.<\/span><\/p>\n
