It’s actually a pretty good movie, as such films go, but it’s not a great movie.

(Some spoilers below but no major…

I attended Government Secondary School, Fadan Kaje (GSSFK) from 1975 to 1978. Formerly owned by Catholic missionaries, and called St. Joseph, the school had Reverend Father John Haverty as the Principal. Catholic priests largely managed the school.
