rich 1.0 In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we welcome director Akinola Davies Jr. who talks about his powerful new film My Father’s Shadow. A semi-autobiographical story set during a single, turbulent day in Lagos amid the 1993 Nigerian election crisis. Davies Jr. shared how the film draws from personal and collective memory, using an intimate family journey to explore a nation on the brink. The narrative follows a father, estranged from his two young sons, as they navigate the sprawling city while escalating political unrest threatens their return home — turning an already fragile reunion into a tense emotional and physical odyssey. My Father’s Shadow is currently playing in theaters.
