Translated as “My Hope Will Stand”, Olile Anya M Ga-Eguzo was written by Cassandra and was based on a moment in time and a vocation of love by her mother, Lillian Nwokah, who worked as a nurse in the delivery ward of a hospital during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. This film was written, acted, directed, designed, and edited as a gift to Lillian.
