Speaking on the trailer release, Onubogu shared: " 'Light Strands' is a film that speaks of the challenges faced by young people in Nigerian society. The few of us who are able to make it through University, graduate and now have to face "adulthood". We see Sade go through these struggles and have to dig deep to overcome."
