Vote True: Nigerian short film about 2023 elections wins at Cannes

Toyin Elebe, the founder of Telefectiv Productions, which specialises in documentaries, TV content, and feature films, won the award for the Best Voiceover category at one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world.

Directed by David Symmon, a British filmmaker, and released in January 2023, Vote True is a compelling political drama stirring Nigerians to change the directory of the nation using their democratic power.

Elebe’s voice, deep like a sage’s and cadenced to compel his listeners, narrates the stirring promise of the nation upon independence and the sour unfulfillment that has followed.
