In an acclaimed movie, a counsellor who facilitates reconciliation sessions between convicts and victims has her belief in forgiveness tested when her daughter goes missing.
At the end of November 2020, The Ghost and The House of Truth was the third most nominated film at the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), where it’s up for seven awards, including Best Film and Best Director (Akin Omotoso).
