Almajiri

Almajiri

Almajiri is an impressive Nigerian social drama that sheds light on one of the country’s most overlooked crises: the fate of street children, also known as almajirai. Based on the story of boys who are forced to beg, work, and even be trafficked, the film reveals the harsh reality of poverty, religious exploitation, and government neglect. With gripping performances and vivid storytelling, Almajiri captures both the pain and resilience of children fighting to survive in a system that has abandoned them. The film is an appeal to the conscience and calls on society to protect its weakest members.
Why this film?
I chose Almajiri because it is not just a film, but also gives a voice to the voiceless.
