Aramide Tinubu Shadow and Act Although Essuman's journey to heal Nuku is initially for her own, selfish purposes, the film audience cannot help but connect with her pain.

Rated: 7/10 Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) Rukiyat Masud, who plays Essuman, gives a mesmerizing performance anchoring a story that moves skillfully from distress to acceptance.

Audience Member this film has me so much more that i want to share it with acquaintances Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Emotionally moving. Excellent actors.
