Eni A Wi Fun - Nigeria
The 40-minute film Eni a Wi Fun tells the story of Ayilara, who has many children but finds it difficult to properly feed and clothe them. Ayilara asks his brother, Olabode, to take one of his children; he is refused. Another villager, Daodu Iyanda, believes that if he does not keep his wives pregnant, they will be seduced by other men. Olabode ultimately shows both families the importance of family planning and good health.
Distribution of the video took place through mobile cinema vans which traveled throughout Oyo State as well as in Nigeria's four other Yoruba-speaking states (Ondo, Ogun, Kwara, and Lagos). After viewing the film, more people said they were aware of family planning methods and nearly all knew where to get them.
