Lizard background

Lizard

In the heart of Lagos, an 8-year-old girl with a unique ability to sense danger is unexpectedly kicked out of Sunday school, leading her to uncover the dark underbelly of a powerful Mega Church and potentially upending the entire community.

In this thrilling movie, an 8-year-old girl named Juwon is taken on a journey into the hidden world of a massive church, "Heaven's Gate", after being removed from Bible class. She discovers the church's financial secrets and the mysterious activities that occur behind closed doors. As she delves deeper, she becomes trapped in a hypnotic sermon and witnesses a congregation in a trance-like state. Her encounters with a giant lizard and a stern gatekeeper serve as symbolic representations of the events that unfold. The story takes a dramatic turn when Juwon's family is confronted by a group of armed robbers disguised as holy figures.
