Women’s Film Club presents Bad Market June 16

Bad Market is a short film about a 14-year-old runaway girl, Eno, who was trafficked to the big city of Lagos by Chike, a ruthless pimp/con artiste who intends to profit from her seeming innocence.

Women’s Film Club is presenting the first screening of the quarter featuring a contemporary Nigerian film, Bad Market, directed by Paul Gaius, at the Ford Foundation.
The Women’s Film Club is a platform that aims to make independent cinema accessible to the Nigerian public through a curated program of film screenings, forums and related events. The Women’s Film Club explores the role of women in film to an African and global audience.
TWFC organizes regular screenings of independent films in Lagos not otherwise shown in mainstream cinemas – including special projects like festivals and art exhibitions.
