.
January 2015. Boko Haram’s violent insurgency is approaching Mogdé, on the Nigerian/Cameroonian border, where Antoniette lives. Just outside Oslo, Norway, lives her son Vakote, worried and afraid for his family and friends back home. This film follows Antoniette and Vakote over a period of 6 months, whilst extremely violent events take place and Antoniette’s youngest son disappears. Through a close portrait of a mother and her son, we gain a new insight into how Boko Haram is seen from ‘below’. The making of this film was possible only due to long-lasting collaboration between visual anthropologists in northern Norway and northern Cameroon.
