Director Statement

This unscripted documentary is an unbiased, rare, and personalized coverage of the honest nature of the peaceful protest that quickly turned bloody with the arrival of soldiers, who opened fire on unarmed flag-wielding Nigerian youths at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos - Nigeria, on the 20th of October, 2020. This documentation also captures the immediate aftermath.
I set out without a clear-cut story in mind, but knowing the Nigerian system however, I knew the demons would crave for blood!
