Further details
Kwabena and Amy have finally made their film, and Kwabena is now focussed on getting agents to come to the screening with the hope of being signed.
Kwabena is riding high at the screening after finally showcasing his film, which has gone down brilliantly with old friends and important guests from the film industry, and Kwabena finally receives an offer that makes him feel like he has taken the first step towards achieving his dream.
He goes to share the news with his family, only to receive a devastating blow from his Uncle Claude who accuses Kwabena of selfishly using Dorvin's story for his own gain. Kwabs's joy is cut short as he is left wondering whether he has sold out his morals in his search for success?
