The Day They Took Our Light

Film

The Day They Took Our Light is a social commentary inspired by real events in Nigeria. When a school attack tears a family apart, an unfinished invention, a missing child, and a father's final message become threads in a story of love, loss, and resilience. Told through four interconnected perspectives, the film gradually uncovers the hidden cost of violence, not through the people who caused it, but through those forced to live with it. As hope fades and truths begin to surface, one question remains: What if the greatest thing taken was never a person... but the future they were meant to build?
