It premiered in 2020 at The Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, where it won the Best Narrative Short prize, and has won numerous prestigious awards including Best Narrative Short at The African Film Festival and Best Acting at the Global Impact Film Festival. The success of the short film so far means it could be considered for an Oscar.
