Legendary actor and producer, Chief Pete
Edochie, who turned seventy-three few months back has added another
feather to his cap.
Chief Edochie was honoured with the African Film Legend award at the
just concluded African Film Festival, TAFF, in Dallas, United States.
The festival, which ran from June second, through June sixth, and was
screened live online, was the first ever virtual award, and a
trailblazing effort by the founder of TAFF, Kelechi Eke.
However, due to ravaging Coronavirus pandemic, Chief Edochie, who was
unable to attend the four day festival, did not miss anything as back
home, the veteran actor was presented with TAFF 2020 Living Legends
