Speaking at the occasion in Jos, Burnett said the American film showcase is a partnership between the  USA department of States’ Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and USC’S School of Cinematic Arts.

She also cautioned youths against involving in drug abuse and other social vices so as to safe guard their future.
