” What Happened At St James is a story inspired by events which shaped my life as I was growing up. My mother was a teacher for many years and she would often tell me stories about various circumstances relating to her students. I often wondered if they were real life stories due to the bizarre natures of the tales. I developed What Happened at St James after one of many stories.

After my mother’s death, I started to think about the best way to remember her . What Happened at St James is a story that will resonate with both the young and the old. My mother sacrificed so much for her students and she believed in the ability of every child. What Happened at St James is dedicated to her memory? “A film specially dedicated to the loving memory of my mom, Gbonjubola Abimbola Fafowora who as a teacher, sacrificed so much for her students and to all  the victims of sexual abuse. Silence is no longer an option.” – Producer: Tosin Akintokun

“When I got  the  script, it was evident that the story did not hold anything back, the dialogues were quite engaging till the very end where the unexpected hits you right in the face, I knew this was a deep story that needed a lot of attention to detail.“- Director: Marc Adebesin
