Aniyota Media is set to release its latest documentary Model Citizen, an inspiring and thought-provoking film that lets models tell their own stories for the first time.
Model Citizen challenges stereotypes in the modelling industry. It redefines what it means to be a model and not just a face of beauty, but a voice of strength, creativity, and purpose. Through emotional interviews and captivating visuals, the documentary celebrates models who use their craft to create change.
Redefining What It Means to Be a Model
In today’s fashion world, models are often seen but not heard. Model Citizen changes that. It highlights individuality, resilience, and authenticity. Moreover, it shows that modelling is about representation and influence, not just appearance.
The film features Nkemjika Okorafor, Adunolaoluwa Osilowo, Arafa Adele, Amaka Oguike, Ifeoma Anadu, Ifeoma Nwobu, and Juliet Chioma Ezeigwe. Each shares personal experiences that reveal the strength behind the profession.
Nkemjika Okorafor reflects on her journey, saying:
“Models not getting proper endorsements is not just a Nigerian problem. It is a global issue. If you don’t have the numbers online, brands will often choose celebrities instead.”
Amaka Oguike adds:
“This documentary brings awareness to realities behind the scenes. There’s so much people don’t see, and this project finally gives us a voice.”
Why “Model Citizen” Matters
The documentary opens important conversations about model representation, gender perception, and industry bias. It exposes the human side of modelling that often stays hidden. Therefore, it is a must-watch for anyone passionate about fashion, storytelling, women empowerment, or African creativity.
