I not seen this level of excellence. No not in a Nigerian movie. Wow...This movie should be given an award for Excellence in Cinematography, Plot and Cast...Even the audio is as clear as a bell. Am simply in awe.

[@craftwithgift7948]

This movie just gave me more motivation to work hard and put my own story out there , it's a route I must take .

[@mariamyinus1043]

Short yet straight to the point. 30min short story that has more sauce than some 2hrs movie. The effect of substandard drugs in Nigeria is so high and has caused the deaths of many. The interview at the end is a total turnoff though.. totally unrelated to the story. Still, good movie. Great initiative. Well done Anakle team, cast & crew 👍👍

[@meddyalaka6314]

The interview is way much related ,maybe you were impatient to pay much attention to its detail. They focused on talking about the effect of product/service counterfeiting or piracy which was the story line of the film.

[@tosinadebanjo4085]

Fast-paced, captivating story. Solid production. Capturing that water slum living was perfect.

[@trevorbailey1448]

Daniel and mama T 🤔 both were very good in The men club . This was a eye opening short , this type of thing happens in our society because of greed no regard for the people who take this counterfeit trash.

[@tivlumun563]

So much love for the movie. I’m here for both Effiong Daniel and Shaffy Bello.❤️❤️

[@pehtrahh]

Mummy Shaffy and Daniel Effiong😍. Nice one! This film hits a topic that's rather under-discussed in Nigeria. The counterfeiting of drugs and how these ones who partake get away with it and how they end up paying cos who knows where exactly these drugs end up. Action needs to be taken! Nice one guys👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@bluebeestudios6613]

But why is nobody talking about the major theme in the film in the end credit. The discussion against pirates is important but the film was talking about drugs. An end credit with real life victims will had helped the film story be more relatable. Great film anyways

[@aderojutojola6512]

It is simply because the movie was created to fight counterfeiters of every kind and not just drugs.

[@christabela.b9256]

The movie is about piracy but they chose to use drugs counterfeiting as the point of connection with the audience.

[@viviannkpolukwu2486]

Agreed

[@preztjuswoman]

Wow you knew that you had such grand ideas for the ending of a movie but you didn't write and produce your own. Na wa o, wonders neva end.

I could watch shaffy speak all day. She's so alluring and elegant!

[@Cinemashed]

Great story, amazing cinematoraphy, good direction and acting. I thoroughly enjoyed how the story played with karma in a very simple way... Then I got to the end of the movie and watched as they plugged in piracy in Nollywood and equated it to counterfeiting drugs that take lives. Not the story, time, or place to do such. It should have strictly been about the story of the movie, Nollywood piracy has no place being talked about here.

[@maidenhackman7100]

I personally like the fact that they didn't narrow it to just movie counterfeiting but every form of counterfeiting.... I did understood their point of view quite well

[@nicolajames5037]

@@maidenhackman7100 my dear bad mind dey worri her

[@preztjuswoman]

This has got to be one of the most powerful productions Ive seen in Nollywood so far. This film addresses corruption in regards to products and their authenticity. The afterthoughts don't correlate with the storyline of the movie but also addresses corruption in regards to movies that lose their value because they are being pirated. Corruption kills lives and livelihoods that's what I take away from this. Production excellently done.

I don't watch Nigerian movies, but I got this video as an ad for another video I was watching. Idk why I didn't skip it after the first 5 seconds, but I definitely don't regret not skipping it after watching it! I love the production, editing and acting on this. Keep it up this is some good work.

[@akinimueni]

Still love this movie. Love that she wore red. Does a crocodile go home and cry for eating a bird's egg....its kinda like kidogo capitalism. Even the shots. The one in the boat.....the cigarette. I would work with this guys for free

[@belemasworld1106]

I am not disappointed and that’s a great thing.

[@eveshad_properties8130]

The movie is top notched short film but rich in story... shaffy Bello never disappoints me, nice one Editi... the only flaw I saw in the film is that piracy shouldn't have been stressed in the ending conversation because that wasn't the theme

[@maidenhackman7100]

They were talking about all types of counterfeiting however still addressing the film.... The examples are extremely abstract n deep in literature intelligence dear.

[@godfreyfriday3743]

I loved the movie! The ppl that were talking at the end started talking about movies when the bigger conversation is pirated medication. Other than that, Amazing movie.. it really reflects Public Health work that needs to be done in Nigeria.

[@sharoneniye2550]

Honestly I find it kind of disrespectful to the actual real life victims of drug piracy that y'all would try to put film piracy on the same table. You can't compare children dying to producers not making enough money because their movies got pirated. I would have been better to end this with a discussion with real life victims and/or their loved ones. Or just do a short movie about the effects of movie piracy instead. But this was a nice movie though. Good job on that.

[@bubari5889]

Counterfeit drugs and Karma. Major themes speaking to the ills in the society

[@1murkeybadmayn]

Great short. However, about piracy. You can't count the number of people who watched pirated films, multiply that by the amount it costs to watch the film in cinema, then say that's how much you lost. No. Over 90% who watched the pirated version did so because they could not afford to go to the cinema. So in other words, you would not have made that money either way. The main issue is no investors in our film industry and no enforcement of laws against not just piracy, but most things in Nigeria.

[@ogochukwuenekwizu5868]

I really enjoyed watching this and I clicked the link on a whim. Loved that it showcased a different side of Lagos rather than fancy mansions. The cast was great and the acting was on point. Great job!!! The only wahala is that the discussion at the end of the movie caused my brain to reset: plix what does Nollywood piracy have to do with counterfeit drugs? Why not have interviews geared towards the actual content of the movie? Perhaps short texts of the current situation of counterfeit drug traffic in 9ja? Showing the end credits without any discussion scenes would have been fine! What you have now detracts from an otherwise awesome movie. Una try sha...I shall recommend this to my friends.

[@MalikCreek]

Great Plot, The cinematography is 🔥.The cameos at the end were inessential because it gainsays what the storyline depicts. Anti-Piracy campaign should have been a topic for another day. A credit of real life victims and assailants of counterfeit drugs is much needed to complete this masterpiece.

[@ameeybarbie]

Great movie, the movie is topnotch, Government should look into drug/medicine as most of this drug are risky to use for an individual.

[@mimianon9025]

Only in Nigeria do you have a tribal cartel of non pharmacists who feel entitled to handling and distributing medications that require so much training to produce and handle. NAFDAC is toothless except for the brief period late Dora Akunyili went after them and they somehow got her removed.

[@benjaminnwakanma1353]

Damn. Very powerful stuff. I doubt it’s that simple in real life tho. Corruption is a way of life in Nigeria. And realistically, nobody would be as surprised as they’re in this film. And also realistically, a woman of her caliber would have over the counter medications from first world countries in her home especially considering her knowledge of the forgery in Nigeria. Overall, great acting, camera quality and overall superb cinematography. Well done, Nollywood

[@the.temidayo]

I think the discussion at the end of the movie is relevant. Piracy steals and damages ones work and filmmakers have to fight against it in what ways they can. However, it shouldn't have been related to the drugs counterfeiting issue. It just undermines the whole movie. Great job though, this should win awards 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
