Akinola Davies Jr.’s My Father’s Shadow is a poetic, tender portrait of father-son bonds set amidst the political turbulence of 1993 Lagos. Tracking a single day’s journey into and around the Nigerian metropolis, Folarin (Sop Drs, Slow Horses, Gangs of London) and his young sons Akin (Godwin Egbo) and Remi (Chibuike Marvellous Egbo) reckon with their relationship while navigating a city on the precipice of democratic crisis. As shadows grow long across Lagos and details of Folarin’s life come to light, the strained nature of his connection to Akin and Remi becomes increasingly clear.
