|  | | Greetings, On behalf of Oscilloscope Pictures, the African Diaspora Film Festival would like to invite you to attend the official New York City premier of Mother of George, taking place at the Angelika Film Center on September 13, 2013. Directed by Andrew Dosunmu (Restless City), Mother of George visually showcases the vibrant colors, music, dance and practices of a Nigerian community in Brooklyn, NY, while chronicling the lives of a recently married couple (Ayodele and Adenike, played by Isaach De Bankolé of Otomo and Danai Gurira of The Walking Dead) who are unable to conceive a child. In a struggle to fulfill cultural expectations and save her marriage, Adenike is forced to make a shocking decision, which could either save her family or destroy it. Mother of George, which also stars Tony Okungbowa, Yaya Alafia, acclaimed Nollywood actress Bukky Ajayi, and Angelique Kidjo was awarded 'Best Cinematography' at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and has already received rave reviews from its early screenings - the Village Voice stated that it marks "a new renaissance moment in Black American cinema." As a supporter of this film, we would like to welcome you to attend the opening screening of Mother of George at the Angelika Theater. If interested, tickets are available for presale at: http://www.fandango.com/motherofgeorge_162043/movietimes?location=10003 Oscilloscope Pictures is also offering a special discounted rate for groups and organizations that are interested in attending.
