Far From Home (2022 series) Netflix

Far From Home , nope! Not the Spiderman series. This “ Far From Home ” is not so far from our home, Nigeria. The movie is a young adult home series produced by Netflix , also happens to be the first Nigerian young adult TV series. Well I’m not here to give spoilers nor sneak peeks, just here to air my heart. If you’re reading this, it probably means you’ve watched the movie, or you’re about to. Either ways, you’re here. Far From Home is the story of Ishaya Bello, played by Mike Afolarin .  Mike Afolarin Ishaya is a teenager from a poor family, a very talented artist who hopes to someday show the world " everything " he's made of, well in this case, " every-art ". Then there’s me, “ Barnabas Ekpima ”. Oh no! I’m not in the movie LOL, just here to talk about the movie. I realize Ishaya’s story had been my story at some point, and has probably been your story too, or currently is.  I dare say, 65 percent of budding artists in Nigeria can relate to Ishaya’s story. B
