While appearing on BBC Africa, Eleanor Nabwiso, the movie producer said that she has had friends experiencing gender-based violence which pushed her to produce the movie.

“Don’t keep quiet, come out and speak out. If you don’t speak out you could suffer from depression or a man could kill you,” said Eleanor as she vowed to produce more movies on issues affecting women.

She further said it is about time culture stopped this habit, people have to move on because the habit of men beating men is so wrong.

“My film is called Bed of Thorns. Don’t keep quiet, the message from this film is don’t keep quiet, come out and speak out to either a councillor or police man,” she said.
