The Mirror Boy

The Mirror Boy is a mystical journey through Africa, seen through the eyes of a 12-year-old boy, Tijan, played by Edward Kagutuzi. After a London street fight, Tijan's mother takes him back to their roots, to Gambia, where he encounters a strange apparition, a boy smiling at him in a mirror and vanishing. Tijan is left alone with the enigmatic Mirror Boy, played by Osita Iheme, who takes him on a bruising spiritual rite of passage, leading to a chain of events that test Tijan's understanding of himself and the world around him.
