Voiceless: The anguish of living in Northern Nigeria

By Prisca Sam-Duru

In collaboration with Theatrone Media and Whitestone pictures, Native Media, a TV Production company brings to the general public, its Hausa Language feature-length film, ‘Voiceless’. The much anticipated, insurgency-inspired romantic thriller sub-titled in English, opens in cinemas across the country from 20th November 2020.

Written by Jennifer Agunloye, directed by Robert Peters, and Produced by Rogers Ofime, ‘Voiceless’ exposes the anguish being experienced by victims of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgency.

The very emotive film based on real events exposes not only how individuals are abducted or, live in captivity but also, life after escape from captivity for those who make it out alive.
