Beautiful Uplifting Nigerian Movie

I really enjoyed Adiré. The movie touches upon themes of empowerment of women, male domination, arrogance within the church, judging others, and it also portrays some beautiful aspects of Nigerian culture. Adiré the protagonist, breaks free from the clutches of her violent, criminal pimp and starts her own successful lingerie line. She uses her own sexuality to make money and then the sexiness of her products to help her clients spice up their love life. Despite all the societal prejudice against her, a good man falls in love with her, she overcomes the judgement of the church members, her little community and her church are transformed for the better... goodness and love prevail over evil and hate... highly recommend bravo to all the beautiful actresses and the talented director !!!
