Through the eyes of Ochuko and his small band of rebels, eyes that have known only the pristine beauty of the mysterious creeks and a heart that remembers only pain of slavery, we see a fight onto death, as unsung heroes give their all to the struggle for self-rule in a small corner of what will become the nation Nigeria. '1960' is fact and fiction that dramatically follows the march to independence of a most uncommon amalgamation of great kingdoms and proud empires into one political entity, Nigeria, fused into a union for administrative ease. '1960' seeks to inspire new hope in spite of a nation’s inherited challenges, and sparks anew a celebration of who we were and can become again.
