Ishaya Bako returns with new documentary on gender-based violence 'Silent Tears'

A new documentary on the victimization and abuse of women in Abuja will be premiered in October. The documentary, which is titled Silent Tears, was directed by award- winning filmmaker, Ishaya Bako. In 2013, Ishaya Bako's documentary about the fuel subsidy scam in Nigeria, 'Fueling Poverty', attracted wide attention when it was banned for being highly provocative.


The new documentary, SILENT TEARS, was funded by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA). It explores the methodical victimization of women in Abuja by a task force established by the Federal Capital Territory Administration to apprehend and rehabilitate sex workers. The October premiere of the documentary, will take place in Abuja. Other screening dates will be announced subsequently.

Nice move, quite unfortunate how the evil perpetuated by this task force brought into Abuja by Bala Mohammed have been harassing innocent Nigerians.
I hope this documentary will do justice to this issue.

Linda. Tanks for dis matter. Dis is really a true silent tears. Am a guy also. N I ve met cases lik dis too. This poilce force pple not only harrass gals but guys too. If u r well dress goin out to see someone or tryin to meet up wit ends meet. They jst jump out of their busses harrassin u wit all sorts of allegations. Last askin u wat u do for a a living n even afta providing ur proof. They wil neva let u go free. Such harrassment needs to stop. I cant even go out anymore not knowing wen dey will attack. The worst is as I do not have any connections in my own country, its difficult to easily leave dia traps

That lady in the mint tshirt is off her rockers she has no idea of what she is talking about indecent dressing , what law in nigeria says you should arrest people for the way they are dressed . these are the sort of people give nigeria a bad name

To think that the coordinator of the so-called SAP-CLN is even a woman! Listen to her definition of a prostitute. Ha, na wa!
