The Family Legacy

Film info:
After a test, pregnant Simi discovers that she carries the sickle cell gene. Anxious to know if her unborn child might develop the disease, she urges fiancé Femi to undertake the test too. Hurt in his pride, Femi claims that he doesn’t have that “sickle cell defect” and refuses to submit to the test. 10 months later when the baby is diagnosed as having the disease, Femi deserts wife and child.

Simi finds refuge at her parents’ house and the whole family rallies around her to try and learn more about sickle cell and bring Femi back to his senses. Filmed in a docu-soap style, this innovative drama addresses a sensitive issue in a convincing and engaging way.
