The Mirror Boy Trailer

Sometimes the system gets us to a point where we know it’s better to take our children back home for some well-meaning discipline.

The Mirror Boy is a mystical journey through Africa, seen through the eyes of a 12 year old boy, Tijan (Edward Kagutuzi). After a London street fight, in which a local boy is hurt, Tijan's mother (Genevieve Nnaji) decides to take him back to their roots, to Gambia. On their arrival in Banjul, Tijan encounters a strange apparition, a boy(Osita Iheme) smiling at him in a mirror and vanishing. Seeing the same boy in a crowded street market the next day sets in motion a chain of events, with Tijan finding himself lost. While Tijan's panic-stricken mother struggles to find her son, Tijan is left alone in the company of the enigmatic Mirror Boy.
