Nigeria-born 12-year old American, Zuriel
Oduwole made history recently by becoming
the youngest person in the world to show her
work in a commercial movie theatre.
This comes after she became the youngest
person of African descent to be listed for
2013’s 100 Most Influential Africans
alongside 3 Presidents and as well the
youngest person in the world to be profiled in
Forbes Magazine at just 10.
Against the backdrop of so much negative
press, scantily dressed women on stage, and
intentional putting down of women, especially
women of colour, the Los Angeles school girl
and Nigerian native showed her newest
documentary titled A Promising Africa at the
Film House Cinema chain in Lagos last
November 2014.
The documentary moves to London this
month, January 2015, and a limited and early
release is scheduled for later in the year. source http://thenet.ng/2015/01/nigeria-born-12-year-old-american-is-worlds-youngest-filmmaker/?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook
