People are going to say that My Father's Shadow hasn't been promoted or publicised but the truth is the company behind it doesn't have a hollywood scale budget. So if you see this tweet this is your micro billboard. Go and see it. Black creative talent, Nigerian art.📍

If you only see one film this weekend make it My Father's Shadow. So lovingly and thoughtfully made with Lagos at its core. Tenderness and hope were depicted on screen so beautifully and grief was handled with such care. I encourage you to go and watch this film. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Father’s Shadow is out in the UK/Ireland today. If you’re free this weekend, PLEASE go to the cinema to see it. One of the best films of the year that deserves our support. If you want more stories like this, GO TO THE CINEMA & show up for these films. mubi.com/en/myfathersshadow?…

As a diaspora it’s super important to stay sentient of your privilege especially as you travel. To step over voices on the ground especially when they are specifying their grievances is fuelled in ego and insensitive
