THE FILM
When Love Speaks
When Love Speaks is a powerful romantic drama about love, culture, and the courage to choose your own path. As Nigerian-American attorney David Eguasa and Lola Henderson build a life together, they discover that the greatest obstacles to love are not distance or circumstance, but the expectations of family, tradition, and identity.

CRITICS
What they're saying
"It's truly an exercise in cognitive dissidence, as he is in a state where he is constantly having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, and even attitudes towards his social and private behavioral decisions that create a certain attitude change towards his family, its tradition, culture, and his homeland."
— ILLUMINERDI
"A rather compelling drama that's basically about love and acceptance, seen through the lens of the African diaspora in the US — but even if some plot elements are specifically tailored to Africans in America, the underlying themes are very universal and thus relatable... all making this a very worthwhile watch."
— (RE)SEARCH MY TRASH
"I really enjoyed When Love Speaks. It's a heartfelt story with characters you quickly care about. The film does a great job of blending love, purpose, and the fight for justice in a way that feels real and relatable.
What I liked most was that it made me think while also keeping me invested in the characters and their journey. It's the kind of film that stays with you after it's over.
I think audiences are really going to connect with this one. I can definitely see When Love Speaks becoming a fan favorite at the Journey Home Film Festival: ATL Edition."
