“My fulfillment is building a platform, an avenue where filmmakers can be rewarded for professionalism and not just glamour only. In the next two years, AMAA would have done so much for the African film industry as a whole.” Such remarkable words of Peace Ayiam-Osigwe taken from a recent interview tell much about one of her most outstanding legacies – the Africa Movie Academy Awards .
Peace was also the President of the Association of Movie Producers. Her demise has been generating reactions from the movie world with industry practitioners pouring out tributes on their respective social media pages. She was a writer and filmmaker with a core interest in using her works to advocate for black communities, the African caste system, child trafficking, and women’s equality.
The #AFRICAONE project transcended the filmmaking space and ate into the dance, music, and visual arts. It was a project that pushed the African art sector onto the global stage. In 2020, she became the seventh National President of the Association of Movie Producers , where she initiated a project called the “100 Film Project,” which was targeted at improving the quality of films coming from Nollywood.
