A Battered Life: Boko Haram Short Film

A short story written to highlight the traumatic experience of people abducted by Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria has been adapted into a short film. A Battered Life, written by Fatima Aliko Mohammed attempts to tell the Boko Haram story from the lenses of the victims rather than the fighters. Thousands of people died while millions of others were displaced as a result of the Boko Haram violence. Fatima talks about what motivated her to produce the film.
