Daughters of Chibok (2019) – VR Film

A prequel to Mothers of Chibok, this gripping multi-award winning virtual reality documentary takes you into the heart of a small community that was torn apart when a terrorist group kidnapped 276 girls from their hostels.

Mothers of Chibok (2024) – 2D Film

In a small village in Northeast Nigeria, a community of mothers forge a path forward after the tragic events of April 2014 when their daughters were kidnapped by Boko Haram. The film follows four mothers over a farming season as they fight for their children and their futures. The media may have moved on from this once global topic, but the women continue to persevere in the face of great tragedy. Mothers of Chibok paints a visceral portrait of courage, faith, and the enduring power of hope.
