Regina Daniels’ short movie on domestic violence and abusive relationships trends

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels is still making headlines amid her marriage crisis with billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko.

Recall that the movie star accused her estranged husband of abusing her, alongside dreadful allegations made by her brother about her shaky marriage.

Amid the negative buzz, her short movie “Smile For the Camera” went viral on social media.

Originally produced in 2021 by Regina Entertainment TV (RET), "Smile For the Camera" tells a powerful story about domestic violence and the painful realities of people trapped in abusive relationships.

The short film marks RET’s first docu-series on social justice issues, aiming to use visual storytelling to challenge harmful societal norms that promote oppression and silence victims of abuse, Bella Naija reports.

The film stars Regina Daniels as Sophia, Gideon Moses as Dan, Gloria Mathias K. as Sophia’s mother, Nicolas Adekeye as Sophia’s father, and Emanuella C. Eboka as Doctor Alex. It was directed by IceQue On It and written by Precious Nkem Ogbuenyi.

Although clips of the film began circulating online recently, sparking renewed attention, fans noticed that the actress reportedly posted and later deleted the video from her social media pages at the time it was produced.

Legit.ng also did a brief online check but could not find the full clip on YouTube, further fueling curiosity and speculation about why it was removed.

Despite its disappearance, "Smile For the Camera" continues to gain traction online, with many praising Regina Daniels for her creativity.
