In 2014, Boko Haram militants seized hundreds of girls from their school in the town of Chibok. A new film documents the lives of the missing girls' mothers, who have shown resilience in the face of grief.

A new documentary follows the Chibok mothers in northern Nigeria, whose daughters were abducted by Boko Haram in 2014.
