Video placeholder

 

Short film about forced eviction in the Ngofaka-polo Waterfront community Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Njemanze and Abonnema Wharf are within the project site of a commercial entertainment project called "Silverbird Showtime". UN-HABITAT estimates that "the Silverbird Showtime project" alone will lead to land clearance affecting between 100,000 and 150,000 people.

This video was produced as part of an initiative by Amnesty International in the Netherlands to work with local African film production companies to document the realities of forced evictions for people living on the continent.
