Two brothers discover the truth about their father amid sacrifice, secrets and Nigeria’s shifting political landscape.

Directed by Akinola Davies Jr., My Father’s Shadow is a compelling portrait of family, sacrifice and change in modern-day Lagos. Fola (a magnetic Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù) is an enigmatic presence in his sons’ lives. As Remi and Akin (played by real-life brothers Chibuike Marvellous and Godwin Egbo) journey through the city with him, they begin to see him not just as a father, but as a man who has made profound sacrifices. Yet as Nigeria’s presidential election results approach, events unfold that will forever alter their relationship.
