My Father’s Shadow is the best Nigerian film I’ve seen. It’s so good. All the innuendos it attempts were brilliantly attempted.
The constant hope that MKO Abiola would emerge and the military era would end was a real thought because till this day, we still bare the same hope.
Hello boys and girls!
One of the pod’s favourite movies “My Father’s Shadow” is now on Netflix!💃🏽💃🏽
Perfect time to also rewatch the episodes featuring Funmbi Ogunbanwo, Wale Davies and Akinola Davies 👇🏾

My interpretation of My Father's Shadow is that Fola died at Bonny Camp and returns within Remi’s dream state a concept framed directly by the opening line: "Dear Father, I will see you in dreams."
Several details in the opening scenes support this:
My Father's Shadow is a beautifully crafted exploration of grief, memory, and loss. Wale Davies’ writing coupled with Akinola Davies Jr.’s directing delivers a deeply moving narrative that rewards careful viewing.
10/10.
Dare I say one of the best films I have watched in a while, shout out @ISWISPodcast for influencing me to watch this, and to the Davies Brothers for their brilliant minds, this piece was phenomenal; From the story, to the colouring, to the portrayal of the story, even the cast ✨
Mavo is mid but it's his looks you're focused on.
When we are ready to address how his type of music is also mid, I'll be participating in this discourse. Till then...
