Movie Review: Living in bondage by Steve Gukas

The movie titled "Living in Bondage" by Steve Gukas is a Nigerian film that portrays the reality of Nigerian society, where everyone wants to belong. Many, especially young people, would do anything to feel included, have a say, and be recognized in society.

As the title suggests, "Living in Bondage" narrates how people become entangled in the pursuit of wealth, implying that many are rich and powerful yet not free.
