When a movie is created with the sole intent of telling a story in its purest form to its audience, then you get Shanty Town.
Shanty town held me down from the get go. It, was a story that could be very well related to on the streets of Lagos and other cities of Nigeria. A plot that held its own from start to finish. There was no tottering in the way the stories for the characters went. Where there was pain we saw true pain, when there was fear it was from the depth, and when there was failure it was with no pride. The story didn't give the room for mediocrity of performance and our actors were willing to bow themselves totally to the call. I must say to me Shanty Town was a complete expression of what the begining of greatness looks like. It can only get better from here on.
