Salma
Salma lost her hearing as a child. Being back in school has opened new doors for her. In the Borno and Yobe regions of Nigeria, thousands of girls are unable to go to school because of disruptions or displacement, or because girls’ education isn’t valued. “When I grow up, I want to be a teacher,” signs Salma. “I don’t think anything can stop me.” This film was a part of the Embedded Storytellers program at Plan International Canada. We work with in-country filmmakers to highlight participants in our projects. For this project, esteemed Nigerian filmmaker Ike Nnaebue acted as the mentor for young filmmaker Aimalohi Ojeamiren. The film was shot on an iPhone.
