Make it through, do it yourself

Nigeria is often referred to as Africa's largest economy, but just a short distance from Abuja the capital city, a harsh reality of conflicts long forgotten by the outside world comes into view.
Ten years ago, in 2014, a large-scale kidnapping of hundreds of schoolgirls by an anti-government armed group in the northeastern state of Borno made headlines worldwide. Kidnappings remain a daily occurrence in Nigeria's northeastern region, leaving residents trapped in a cycle of fear and distrust, struggling to survive. A Japanese director who won the Grand Prize at the ICRC Young Reporters Competition while still a university student documented the efforts of those suffering from conflict, kidnappings, and climate change as they strive to rebuild their lives.
