Summary
You know what they say, four heads are better than one, so it makes sense that we have two Cannes-certified heads in the house! Wale & Funmbi, the writer and producers of My Father’s Shadow, join us for such a well-rounded episode. We discuss what to do if you’re a dark-hearted cheat, how to get over the idea of “the one that got away”, father-son dynamics in Nigerian society and how tumultuous parental relationships can be, which led us to their highly anticipated film, written to portray the father-son connection set against a 1993 military-ruled Nigeria. We hope you enjoy!
