BEHIND-THE-SCENES of HEAVE'S HELL

Katung "Direktah" Aduwak

Heaven’s Hell is the true story of a Nigerian woman who stabbed her husband multiple times to death after, her claims, of many years of domestic violence; and that is only the tip of the iceberg!

As the movie shoot enters its fourth week, Katung Aduwak, the brain and force behind the movie, feels a responsibility to share this story.

With an impressive ensemble of some of Africa’s best actors (roll call: Bimbo Akintola, OC Ukeje, Nse Ikpe Etim, Damilola Adegbite, Gideon Okeke, Linda Ejiofor, and South Africa based actor, Fabian Lojede of the series- Jacob’s Cross), and an international production team led by Jeffery Smith who has worked with stars like Rihanna, Fergie, Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer and handled productions of mega TV success like American Idol, Heaven’s Hell is set to raise the bar.

Heaven’s Hell the true story of domestic violence and terror will capture one of the most shocking incidents of family pain and tragedy. “The aim is to use the movie to enlighten Africa- as it seems domestic violence is still handled with kid gloves in this part of the world. Ultimately I want Heaven’s Hell to liberate people. I want it to inspire someone to get out of a bad relationship…whatever it can accomplish to make the world a saner place,” Katung explains.

Katung Aduwak is no stranger to me and I believe that Nigeria will stand still for this young man as this is just a starting point for him. Katung won the first and only Big Brother Nigeria where starts like Gideon Okeke and Ebuka were discovered (or made). He also directed the video of the hit song "Superstar" by Ice Prince.

Katung Aduwak is the perfect example of how hard work, determination and humility will get you to the top.
