The melodrama features veteran actors from the Great Britain and Nigerian film scene -- affectionately called "Nollywood." The film wrapped up shooting in May 2011.



Plot
At the heart of the film "Amina" is a woman convinced that all relationships with men lead to heartache and pain because of a series of unfortunate events that stem from an unexpected pregnancy at 16. The character suffers a mental breakdown and is eventually placed into an in-patient program. As the character works through various tragedies that happened in her life, the many demons in Amina's life come back to haunt her. In the end, Amina must come to grips with her past to move forward.

Ashaiku is CEO of the film production company African Film Tour, AFT, which was started in 2000. The director aims to portray real life situations in a gritty no nonsense way in his films, thus he is no stranger to directing films like "Amina."
