93 days has been getting quite the buzz and sold out at the Toronto Film Festival and ended with a standing ovation from the audience, sources say.
Two years ago, on July 20th of 2014, the deadly Ebola virus had made its way to Nigeria. In what WHO described as a “spectacular success story”, the country held the number of cases to 19, with 7 deaths. On October 20th 2014, Nigeria was declared free of Ebola virus transmission.
Director Steve Gukas said he hopes people who watch the movie understand how closely people in far-flung parts of the world are connected.
