Following the announcement of Netflix and Kunle Afolayan’s new film Swallow, Netflix has released the trailer today for the film adaptation of Sefi Atta’s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Swallow, which is set in 1980s Lagos, sees Afolayan continue his cinematic exploration of bygone eras. The riveting drama-thriller weaves a compelling tale around drug trafficking and workplace sexual harassment and how these social issues are exacerbated by poverty.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To pen the screenplay for Swallow, Afolayan chose to work with the book’s author; Sefi Atta and had this to say about their collaboration  “It was a seamless  process especially because it was my choice to work with the original writer of the book which is rare in most adaptations. Usually people don’t work with the writers. I gave her a freehand to write what she thought and then changed a couple of things and infused some other things so as to give more life to the story.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
