Described as the first narrative film to be made about Boko Haram, the short film based on the stage play "Into the Sambisa," also written by Aguh, highlights the Chibok School-girl abduction scandal which occurred in Borno state, Northern Nigeria, in 2014.
On the night of April 14, 2014, 276 female students were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria.
Over 200 girls were abducted by Boko Haram Soldiers and were taken into the Sambisa Forest. Some have escaped, while many remain in captivity. Now, more than two years passed, these girls are still no where to be found.
The film stars Shardiah Ssagala, Ejiro Okorodudu, Josh Okusanya, Tomi Sunmonu, Uche Aguh among others. While the Cinematography is by Dennis Schmitz. Written and directed by Uche Aguh
