OYO set to premiere 'Lukas' next month

The Ombetja Yehinga Organisation (OYO) is set to premiere its latest film, ‘Lukas’, on Thursday, 1 February, at Ster Kinekor Grove Mall.According to a press release, the film - directed by Philippe Talavera and based on a script by Mikiros Garoes - offers a poignant exploration into the lives of street children, providing a raw and authentic portrayal of their challenges and the unwavering spirit that propels them forward.The film is based on interviews done with 17 homeless children and young people, and four young people who have come into conflict with the law due to their lives on the street, with the organisation emphasising that the project is a work of fiction based on facts.“Hard and unapologetic, the film is also profoundly human, fostering empathy and understanding. The streets may be their lives, but this film endeavours to amplify their voices, revealing the untold stories that resonate beyond the borders of hardship, ultimately inspiring compassion and social change,” the statement read.The premiere event will feature a red carpet that will be rolled out at 18:00, and will serve as an opportunity for attendees to take photos with the cast of the film. This will be followed by the screening of ‘Lukas’. A question-and-answer session with the director and cast after the screening will provide deeper insight into the making of the film and the social issues it addresses.Tickets are available at webtickets.com.na or at Pick n Pay stores countrywide.
