About
No Way Through follows the journey of Jolade Okeniyi, a single mother of a teenage daughter, who is trying to make ends meet. Jolade’s primary source of income comes from working for the local drug cartel in her neighborhood as a driver. Jolade is caught by the authorities and forced to inform on the cartel. Failure to supply the required information will send both her and her daughter to jail, but the risks of getting that information could see them killed by the ruthless cartel. Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, from his own screenplay, No Way Through is a crime drama about the costs of providing for your family no matter what, and the risks you take when you are trying to be free.
