Walking with Shadows

Drama/LGBTQIA+, Nigeria/United Kingdom 2019

In Lagos, Nigeria, Ebele Njoko has spent his entire life running—from his past, his family, and the search for acceptance and love. To escape, he has reinvented himself as Adrian Njoko, a respected father, husband, and brother. But when the secrets of his past resurface, Adrian’s carefully constructed world starts to unravel. As the ripple effects of these revelations intensify, he finds himself desperately trying to maintain control. In the process, Adrian is confronted with the truth about his sexuality, forcing him to choose between continuing a life of compromise or embracing the life he truly desires.
