“The themes that promote our Catholic faith and doctrines should greatly be our focus and drive in our future programmes and productions.
According to them, In their future religious film productions or readable material, should inculcate in any of them messages that greatly promote intercultural harmony in Africa.
Adding that, constructive criticism is very necessary in fostering Intercultural Harmony anywhere in the world.
