A great story adapted from Wole Soyinka's play 'Death and the King's Horseman', which takes us into the tangled web of an internal opinion on the discussion of modernity and traditions. Odunlade Adekola (Elesin) delivers a striking performance that will sweeten, captivate and fill you with nostalgia with each of his moments on screen. A beautiful look at African cinema.

Merry Little Batman
Charming animation, originally created for Cartoon Network and later sold to Amazon, Merry Little Batman is a different kind of story from what we're used to with the bat-hero. After all, it focuses on young Damian Wayne. The boy, alone in Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve, transforms into the "Little Batman" to defend Gotham City from villains who want to spoil the holiday festivities. Different and creative, it's a film that only reinforces how versatile and enjoyable Batman can be.
