Waiting for Hassana
NEW DOCS
The breaking news in April 2014 of 276 student girls kidnapped by Boko Haram while taking their year-end exams at a Nigerian school still burns—most of them remain missing. Through the eyes of Jessica, a student who escaped, the viewer glimpses both the terror and the confusion of this night while learning of the electric force of her dear friend Hassana. This film astutely masters the tension between the joy of surviving and the guilt for doing so. For Jessica, there is strength and healing in sharing her story. KR
