A 25-year-old MSU graduate came all the way from Nigeria to Bozeman with one motive, and that’s to tell his story so others can benefit.

“I’m here to use my difference to make a difference. Being someone who was born in Nigeria and living in Montana and not just as a Nigerian but also as a Black man, I bring an interesting perspective,” said Bozeman filmmaker Nnamdi Kanaga.

A perspective shown in his latest film, The Hail Mary.
