520 A new pair of shoes, a university degree, a husband --
these are the things that a girl dreams of in a Nigerian
village. And with a government scholarship right around
the corner, everyone can see that these dreams aren't too
far out of reach. But the girl's dreams turn to nightmares
when her village is attacked by Boko Haram, a terrorist
group, in the middle of the night. Kidnapped, she is taken
with other girls and women into the forest where she is
forced to follow her captors' radical beliefs and watch as
her best friend slowly accepts everything she's been told.
Still, the girl defends her existence. As impossible as
escape may seem, her life and her future is hers to fight
for.
