My Father's Shadow

MY FATHER'S SHADOW tells the story of two kid brothers, Remi and Akin who get to spend a gift of a day with their estranged father Folarin. They go on a voyage into Lagos observing the colossal city for the first time and the hoops their father must deal with to provide. All this is happening in the backdrop of a huge 1993 presidential election result which calls into question his ability to get them home.

MY FATHER'S SHADOW premiered in Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 and received the Caméra d'Or Special Mention.
