Part Two of "The Family Legacy" - a drama about sickle cell disease

"The Family Legacy" is an emotional three-part drama which explores the impact that the birth of a child with sickle cell disease has on four generations of the same family. As they struggle with the decisions and overcome their misconceptions and superstitions, they come to understand what the baby will mean for each of them.

The story is drawn from the real-life experiences of people living with sickle cell disease and their carers.

In Part Two...

The family begins to realise what it means to live with sickle cell disease. Femi continues to refuse to take the test that would prove he is also a carrier of the sickle cell trait and therefore the father of the baby. Meanwhile the eldest family member Mama Yomi believes that the family's misfortune is the result of a curse due to someone's jealously!
