 “Living
Funeral” is a heart touching film full of love, passion and breathtaking
emotional moments.
The VVIP pink
carpet event was a special presentation of Pink Pearl Foundation’s grand gesture
to showcase its effort to further promote the knowledge of breast and cervical
cancer as well as its dedication to empowering women.
The short film
executively produced by the CEO of Pink Pearl Foundation, Orode Ryan-Okpu
captures the life of a cancer patient – the detection, the challenges and
survival through the experience with family and friends.

 Living Funeral demonstrates how to
survive as a cancer patient and how to support someone living with it; it also
reveals that not enough money can keep a victim alive like the compassion from
family and companions.

annual October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the 20-minute film was a special
presentation available to an exclusive audience. An additional campaign advert
featuring celebrities such as Jay Jay Okocha, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Mo cheddah
