An unusual and very fascinating movie( with difficulty comes ease) tell us about the story of a woman who faces one of the toughest challenges with race and determination. Navigating grief, cultural differences, traditions and personal growth. Her strength and wit was tasted , with the enduring power of all human spirit she was able to overcome. The movie is very tragic following the death of her husband, disagreement between her and her mother in-law . When I came across the title of the movie, my first thought was how poetic, unique and very unusual it was , then I went ahead to watch and understand the ease that came after the difficulty. The film showcase the Islamic religion beyond what we see , cultural differences which was the major theme in the movie and love. It tackle heavy theme like faith, identity,and widowhood with sensitivity and honesty . Over all , it is a captiving tale of resilient, growth and new beginnings. This movie is very interesting, it teaches us many things , and most importantly how problem or obstacles are overcome. It also portrays Nigerian culture.
There is something incredibly electric about seeing a vision come to life. As a film student at the University of Abuja, The Vanishing Jackpot isn't just a project for me—it’s a piece of my heart.
