Private Project

Nimbe

As trouble clouds the Oguntade household, their only child, Nimbe – looking to escape his father’s confusing rage and anger towards him – seeks solace in toxic friendships, drugs and eventually spirals down the pit of drug abuse and crime. The depth of his mother’s love proves insufficient to save him from the claws of his bad choices.

This is a film about the dangers of drug abuse, and a teenager’s struggle to make sense of his world, and make the right choices.
