Dallas, Texas – The recently concluded THE AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL, TAFF witnessed the triumph of the film “DARK CLOUDS” in the highly competitive category of Best Young Talent.

Having gained recognition and multiple accolades, “DARK CLOUDS” has been actively showcased in secondary schools across Nigeria.
