Boko Haram: Das Trauma der Chibok-Mädchen

Whoever is looking forward to an analytical documentary about the existence of the organization Boko Haram and its crimes will be out of luck. You will not learn anything substantial about the origin, expansion, and essence of this organization. Those who want to hear the stories from the mouths of abducted girls about their harrowing fate will also be out of luck. This is partly because the Nigerian government has decided to impose an information embargo on the case, and the girls and their families are not allowed to release any information to the public. The film shows traumatized victims, and you can only guess from the hints in their speech what they have experienced. However, the film is interesting because it reveals that the highly publicized case is just the tip of the iceberg in countless other abductions that have never been addressed or resolved. I remember how the world's celebrities expressed outrage after the school attack, and the Americans sent a team of top FBI investigators, only to return home unceremoniously after a few weeks. It is definitely an emotionally powerful matter, but given the aforementioned, it is not possible to expect any significant testimony about the country and the civil war. Overall impression: 75%.
