Respected Nigerian filmmaker,
Kunle Afolayan, has concluded the filming of the screen adaptation of Sefi Atta’s third novel ‘Swallow’ in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The movie follows the story of a naive bank secretary, Tolani Ajao, who, after a series of career woes, considers her roommate’s offer to work as a drug mule in mid-1980s Lagos.
However, Tolani faces a crisis of conscience, and as she questions her own morality in a repressive military regime, she finds herself flung into a journey of self-discovery.
It will also be the first screenwriting credit for the Nigerian novelist, who co-wrote the screen adaptation with Afolayan.
