Edo Cultural icon and multiple award winning filmmaker, Okpioba Ambassador Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, has won the award of Best Director at the just concluded Coal City film festival with the film Wede, a screen adaptation of Professor Julie Okoh’s play Edewede. 

Wede is a loud statement on the obnoxious traditional practice of female genital mutilation otherwise called circumcision, which is still very much practiced in several parts of southern Nigeria and other African countries.
