Girls

Girls is Theresa Ikoko’s award-winning drama about friendship under fire. In Nigeria in 2014, teenagers Tisana, Haleema and Ruhab are best friends, sharing jokes and everyday anxieties until they are kidnapped by militant insurgents and forced towards an uncertain future. With only one another to rely on, fear and religious differences begin to test the limits of their bond. Directed by 2026 JMK Award winner Ewa Dina, this intimate and urgent production explores resilience, loyalty and the lives behind familiar news headlines.
