Can Nigerian Short Films Help Change Attitudes Towards Sexual Violence?

I recently watched the Nigerian short film *Sacrilege*, and it made me reflect on how storytelling can address sexual violence and its effects on survivors, families, and society. Beyond entertainment, films like this can raise important questions about justice, accountability, consent, and protecting vulnerable people. But can a short film genuinely change attitudes or encourage people to speak up? What should filmmakers consider when telling sensitive stories about sexual violence? Have you watched a Nigerian short film that stayed with you or changed how you viewed an important issue? Please share your honest views respectfully.
