NORTHGATE – Top local actors and producers come together to make a movie that promotes fighting for one's marriage when times get tough.
Dubbed Africa’s most unconventional and provocative Christian movie, Married & Loving It, premiered at a star-studded event at Northgate Shopping Centre’s Century CinemaX recently.
In anticipation of the release of this unique movie, celebrities, industry players and church leaders alike attended the film’s premiere.

He reflected on his own challenges as all doors for funding and any form of partnership from the film industry bodies and developmental funders were shut at each attempt.
