    • Trivia
      The director decided to adopt a unique approach to the story telling by fishing out the people in the documented miracles that were performed by Archbishop Benson Idahosa. For every miracle that's depicted in the movie via reenactments, Stanlee has met and interviewed the real people and in some cases, even got documents to validate those miracles.

    many questions were not answered

    Idahosa Trails was a nice story full of mysteries, it was good to know about Archbishop Idahosa's background and journey.

    Nonetheless we were left us with many unanswered questions...

    DELICIOUS

    -The casting selection was beautifully executed with Charles Okafor and the lady playing older Margaret Idahosa looking like the real-life characters.

    Frank Donga was so needed for the sake of humor

    -Stanlee Ohikhuare provided us with nice angles and the camera emphasized great details that gave us a comprehensive perception of each scenery

    -The storytelling was simple and relaxed; it was innovative to feature the American journalist as a way to lead us into Idahosa's life.

    -The film did a good job to include the Archbishop's accounts through his books as well as first-hand testimonies. This gave us a nice grasp of who Idahosa was.

    BLAND

    -Acting across characters was pretty much passable. David Schifter and Osas Ighodaro didn't seem involved in their roles

    -The cinematography, unfortunately, did not look cinematic

    -A few questions came up while watching, e.g., did anybody else raise the dead during Idahosa's ministry? Did anyone ever question the source of his power? Had his ministry ever provoked oppositions? Etc.

    All these important elements were not featured in the narrative to help us fully understand Idahosa's work.
