MOTHERS OF CHIBOK

Director & Producer: Joel 'Kachi Benson

While working on their farms to fund another year of their children’s education, a community of Nigerian mothers carry on despite an unresolved tragedy that struck their village in 2014.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
