COMMENTS
The film is highly emotional and educative . The language spoken is Yoruba.The visual and audio effect was super. Close up shots were mostly used. The actors played their roles well.
However, the graphics was not good enough. This is found in the amputating scene. But it was generally an encouraging production .
