Red Oil Shortfilm - Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria

This short film, sponsored by the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria, explores sickle cell beyond the individual experience — examining the long-term impact the condition can have on families, caregivers, and society as a whole. The film places particular emphasis on the often unseen burden carried by caregivers: the emotional, financial, and social demands that can extend across years and generations. For this portfolio presentation, only selected frames from the project are featured, offering a glimpse into the visual language and storytelling approach used to explore a deeply human subject with sensitivity and restraint. The work is ultimately a reflection on care, resilience, and the wider societal cost of living with sickle cell.
