This short film was maybe not of the highest production but I think this factor adds a touch of authenticity to the film. The actress was flawless in both her looks and her acting skills, I am highly impressed. The story line is also very effective; a young Nigerian student who seems to attend a private school in the UK, is getting ready to take her next step into her career and is yet again being faced with the fact that some unique characteristics about her will not allow her to pursue her dreams or become the woman her family wants her to become. The film opens with Dolapo being advised by a successful African business woman who seems to have had to 'westernise' herself to fit into the working environment is in the UK, to perhaps be like her, If she wants to go far in her career, and the film ends with the woman looking perplexed as she realises Dolapo chose not to take her advice. It's a representation of the choices women from the same ethnic background have to face. Either be successful at the cost of their identity or keep their identity at the cost of their 'success'. As the targeted audience, I have learnt that I SHALL keep my identity wherever I go, in whatever environment I am in, because, I, CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Review of Dolapo Is Fine
