My Friend Lanre

About This Movie

My Friend Lanre is a raw, unfiltered look into the life of Fehintola, a guy whose struggle with heroin addiction has been chronicled over the years. Regan’s lens captures the grim reality with a certain intimacy, building on what started in Don’t Get High on Your Own Supply and then revisiting in Cold Turkey. It’s not just about the addiction; it’s about friendship and the weight of personal demons. The pacing feels almost like a slow burn, allowing the viewer to really sit with Fehintola's pain and fight. The documentary has this gritty atmosphere, almost a voyeuristic quality, making it feel like you’re peeking into a world not often shown. It’s raw, it’s tough, but it’s also a testament to resilience, which is what makes it distinctive.
