Wives on Strike, which was first released in 2016, had a follow up sequel in 2018, Wives on Strike: The Revolution. It tells the story of a group of women advocating for a young girl who was forced by her father to marry an older man. The women deny their husbands sex in a bid to motivate them towards this course. This revolution also becomes a protest against gender-based violence in the community. The movie is filled with humor and incites critical conversation around important issues women face.

To my incredible cast and crew, thank you for your tireless efforts and belief in this project. And to my fans, my besties, your love and support have been my guiding light through it all”.
