Nollywood Travel Film Festival - Eagle Wings (2021)

A challenge on many levels

Eagle Wings is a war drama, the first ever made in Nigeria, about an Air Force fighter pilot who becomes entangled in the world of insurgents. When a newly married commander gets lost behind enemy lines, his brothers-in-arms vow to bring him home safely.

The rescue mission leads them into a war-torn area and straight into a terrorist stronghold where their loyalties are tested. Eagle Wings explores the challenge of fighting for life, peace, freedom and love in times of great violence.
