Joined by filmmakers @missobrimah and @tmtisclutch both making their TCA debuts, our new episode discusses all things MY FATHER'S SHADOW. We cover the history behind June 12, 1993, the significance of this film and telling original stories, and debate a surprisingly recurring question: Is Folarin dead or alive in the film?

[email protected] Last night โฆ.. My Fathers Shadow really moved me in ways I didnโt expect.
From the very first scene, the way it was filmed felt intimate and intentional every pause, every look, every silence said something. The camera didnโt just show a story, it made you feel it.
The relationship between the father and his sons was especially touching. It captured that quiet, unspoken love the protection, the expectations, the misunderstandings, and the deep bond that doesnโt always need words. It was raw, tender and honest.
A beautiful reminder that a fatherโs presence even in silence can shape a lifetime.
Some films entertainโฆ this one stays with you โฆ and keeps you thinking.
Every family has secretsโฆ ๐
Some just hide it better.

Archived moment from the screening of My Fatherโs Shadow. Thinking a lot about ways of seeing. We could all go back and see the world through our inner child.
Important to remember:
โA childโs perspective is uniquely unbiasedโฆ witnessing through a childโs eyes is an offer.โ
