Kate Henshaw has always been known as one of the Nollywood stars with integrity.
Nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world, producing over 1,000 films a year.
Kate has been in the film industry for over 21 years.
Having made over 70 Nollywood films, the movie star takes a break from the fictional world and runs for a seat in Nigeria's House of Representatives.
"People are really intrigued. They want to know why, why am I going into politics.... As an actor, I've always been in the forefront fighting for different causes that I feel I am passionate about. I feel that with who I am, my status and my name, I should be able to speak out and I really care about people. I want to serve," she says.
Kate wants to change how people are represented in her hometown of Calabar in southern Nigeria, but politics in Nigeria is not for the timid.
