Wearing socks decorated with the expression, ‘Workmanship isn’t a wrongdoing,’ and shirts posting those killed by Nigeria’s (presently disbanded) brutal police unit. The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) hordes of youngsters riot in the most significant youth insurgency the nation has at any point seen.

“What rings a bell at whatever point I think about October 2020 is exactly what it’s anything but: a slaughter,” Akwinwunmi Ibrahim Adebanjo (AKA Flag Boi) says in the film. “Carnage, families crying since we would prefer not to be killed any longer. I proceeded with the dissent after the slaughter since we weren’t done; we’ve not found our solutions yet. Individuals are as yet shouting out there; individuals are as yet languishing.”
22-year-old Rinu Odulala echoes this assertion. “The fights have not halted at all. So the world has to know why we are battling, and, all the more critically, that (even though) the battle may have gone off our roads, it might have gone off our TV screens, it doesn’t imply that the battle has halted or lost its significance.”
