Set over a single, transformative day, two young brothers explore Lagos with their estranged father.
They witness the city's magnitude, and their father's daily struggles, as political unrest during the 1993 Nigerian election crisis threatens their journey.
A rich, heartfelt exploration of fatherhood, identity and memory, My Father's Shadow is a powerful and award-winning debut feature from Akinola Davies Jr.
