From the bestselling memoir “Don’t Call Me Lucky” by Fola Folagbade comes a stirring adaptation that reminds us that destiny is not found in luck, but in purpose. In the bustling heart of Lagos, a young man named Itunu battles the harsh realities of life, sleeping outside, working as a security officer, and confronting rejection at every turn. Yet, through it all, he clings to one unshakable belief: that his story isn’t over. ITUNU is a deeply human story about faith, resilience, and self-discovery. It traces a man’s transformation from hopelessness to significance, from a struggling security guard to a visionary entrepreneur changing lives through creativity and purpose. Told with raw honesty and cinematic intensity, the short film captures the emotional weight of every failure, the quiet strength behind every comeback, and the love that anchors every victory. It is more than a short movie, it is a mirror of every dreamer who has ever been counted out, a reminder that you are not lucky; you are built for this.
