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.
