She said the cinematic production also exposes how taking responsibility, counselling, faith, courage and forgiveness could be therapeutic; bringing healing and restoration to hurting souls.

“Praise Party explores the complex dynamics of Tobe Thompson’s narcissistic behaviour toward his wife, Zara Thompson, and brings to the fore, the influence of unresolved childhood trauma, privilege and injustice.
