Swallow (2021) is Kunle Afolabi's film adaptation of Sefi Atta's acclaimed novel, starring Adesua Etomi-Wellington as Tolani — a young Lagos woman in the 1980s who becomes entangled in drug trafficking while navigating poverty, ambition, and loyalty to her best friend. Released on Netflix, the film was one of Nigeria's most praised films of 2021, and Adesua's performance was singled out for its emotional depth and restraint.
