Getting your big break in any film industry is no easy feat; and when you’re an aspiring actor in the already overcrowded Nollywood scene, it can seem almost impossible. This is what makes upcoming actress, Doris Samuel Akonanya’s story so inspiring.

Losing her right leg as a teenager never stopped her from pursuing her dream of becoming an actress; and she just concluded shooting her first lead role in the upcoming movie, Susanna.
As a relatively unknown actress, Doris – a recent graduate of Theatre Arts and Film Studies from Nnamdi Azikiwe University –has struck gold with her role; acting alongside Nollywood heavyweights, Chinwe Owoh, Chiwetalu Agu, and Harry B Anyawu.
Although we haven’t gotten an official synopsis, trailer or even a release date for Susanna, we are still pretty excited to see what Doris brings to the table alongside such strong Nollywood actors.
You can keep up with Doris’s progress on her Facebook page.
