LE SPECTRE DE BOKO HARAM (THE SPECTER OF BOKO HARAM)

2023, Cameroon
LE SPECTRE DE BOKO HARAM

Cyrielle Raingou

Cyrielle Raingou visits one of the many villages in the north of Cameroon, near the Nigerian border, which are under constant threat from Boko Haram. She takes care of local children: the clever Falta, her schoolmate Ibrahim and his brother Mohamad. They have lost close family members in terrorist attacks and are trying to come to terms with their fate.  The threat is in the air, intangible; the boundaries and borders to Boko Haram are invisible. The children speak and act with impressive energy. They look to the future despite their trauma.
