The Wait

Yemi Mafarah did a phenomenal job tackling this sensitive topic with compassion and insight in a region where so much emphasis is placed on childbearing as synonymous with womanhood. The themes resonated with me deeply. This is such a significant topic. I am American. My husband is Nigerian. We had our daughter after 9 years of marriage. The various perspectives offered were so reflective of what I have seen in our our own lives from families as well as well intentioned friends. I enjoyed looking at the artwork in almost every scene as much as I enjoyed the movie. The cinematography, fashion, and interior design added so much as well.
