ABOUT:
Taking place in 1970 at the tail end of the Biafra war (the civil war in Nigeria). Our characters are war displaced in a catholic home in Massachusetts. We are coming out of the highlife hype of the 60s into the grungier; moodier; psychedelic post war attitude of the 70s. Songs like Khala My Friend, Never Never Let Me Down (Formulars Dance Band) are the unofficial soundtrack to the film.
