Swallow

Now a Netflix original film, Swallow is brought to us from the award-winning author Sefi Atta

In the 1980s in Lagos, the government's War Against Indiscipline and austerity measures are in full swing. A succession of unfortunate events leads Tolani, a bank secretary, to be persuaded by her roommate Rose to consider drug trafficking as a way to make a living. Tolani's subsequent struggle with temptation forces her to reconsider her morality--and that of her mother Arike's--as she embarks on a turbulent journey of self-discovery.
