Nigerian filmmaker Kachi Benson, who directed the Disney movie “Madu,” is working on a new documentary called “The Harvest.” Hunting Lane and Impact Partners will produce the documentary.
The documentary tells the story of four Nigerian mothers. It focuses on their ongoing fight to educate their children, even after the horrific event that took place ten years ago. In 2014, the terrorist group Boko Haram attacked a school in the village of Chibok, Borno State, and kidnapped 276 young girls.
This isn’t Benson’s first time exploring the aftermath of this kidnapping. In 2019, he created a virtual reality documentary titled “Daughters of Chibok.” The documentary won the award for Best Immersive Story at the Venice Film Festival.
