Movie Review:Yellow Cassava

Vero (Monalisa Chinda) an agricultural worker is sent to the village of Amuro to propagate and inform the people of the village about the benefits of yellow cassava as a rich and cheap source of Vitamin A.She faces a lot of opposition from the village members especially Chief Dokoto(Emeka Ojukwu-Torino) and Chief Blaki(Segun Arinze) who made her life a living hell in the village.
Daniel(Chidi Mokeme) who is Vero's fiance also did not like her job description and also had to deal with a rival Dr Zack(Emeka Ossai) who gave Vero all the support she needed in the village.
The movie is a good awareness platform for the agricultural sector and in Nigeria and also education on importance of Vitamin A.The acting from the actors is also commendable.The location is very good as it played a good role in interpretation of the movie.The scene Vero reversed her car to avoid mob action was also good.
I was expecting to see a tools for mechanised farming being brought in but nothing of such was introduced going by the public relation  and accolades that was evident in the movie.The lights out scene at Vero's house was also not good as it still looked bright even after electricity was cut off.I was also not okay with the colour of the sky it was not blue.For the time the cassava plantation was burning seeing it burn rather than just the smokes would not have been a bad idea.
In the end,the antagonist to the yellow cassava idea accepted it and Vero received a presidential award for her commitment to work and surprisingly got back with her fiance Dan.
  Overall  the movie is okay.
