Episode Details

Grammy-winning director Meji Alabi and his uncle Leke Alabi-Isama confront Nigeria’s darkest chapter with their gripping new documentary, “Surviving Biafra: Voices from the Nigerian Civil War.” Using rare footage and harrowing survivor interviews, the film reveals the brutal reality of the 1967-70 conflict — where millions perished, starvation became a weapon, and even family legends were shattered. For Leke, whose father fought in the federal army, the project forced a painful reckoning with his hero’s role in atrocities. Now, they’re racing to preserve the voices of aging survivors before history fades — hoping the film sparks national dialogue, healing, and a deeper understanding of Nigeria’s painful past.
