The United Nations Development Programme and its partners have released a documentary film, based on their recent intervention in Ngarannam, a community in the North-east ravaged by Boko Haram insurgents.
According to the UNDP, the film, directed by a Nigerian award-winning filmmaker, Joel ‘Kachi Benson, provides an insight based on a first hand account into the lives of a community that suffered displacement as a result of the Boko Haram conflict. “After losing everything following an attack by Boko Haram, residents of Ngarannam, a small community in Northeast Nigeria, now have a chance to rebuild their homes and lives, and live up to the full potential of their aspirations beyond life in displacement camps. A return to Ngarannam signifies hope for many who are displaced by circumstances beyond their control,” UNDP said.
“The only way to prevent the next generation from joining the extremists is to make sure that many villages are stabilised, allowing people to return and use their agricultural lands, which will allow them to earn their living. “Through this film, we are telling a powerful story of people who are normally not visible in a dignified manner. Ngarannam: The Homecoming is about people who are rising above their circumstances and willing to collectively be part of a journey that shifts the trajectory of their future – it is the unbeatable power of people when they are part of something that is meaningful.”
