In I'll See You in Ijebu, we meet a Catholic girl growing up in the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria who takes a trip to spend a week with her Muslim extended family in the countryside town of Ijebu to celebrate Eid al-Adha. Her days in Ijebu are filled with celebrations, traditions and special time connecting with family.
