AN ANIMATED HISTORY DOCUMENTARY
The Biafran
War.
A nation newly independent. A crisis that deepens. A war that changes millions of lives.
A 30-minute film in development, tracing the road to Biafra and the human cost of the Nigerian Civil War. The story moves in the present tense, through voiceover, illustrated characters, animated maps and a fast, cinematic edit.

A story you can see, hear and feel.
The film is being shaped around a clear narrative, with researched events translated into scenes that hold attention without losing sight of the people at the centre of them.
Voice-led storytelling
A present-tense script puts each decision and turning point close to the viewer.
Characters, maps, fast cuts
Stylised 2D figures, historical geography and symbolic shots give the story its visual language.
Rhythm and atmosphere
Voice, sound design and a deliberate edit build tension while leaving room for the human story.
Behind the scenes.
New behind the scenes videos will appear here.
“The most gripping history is also deeply human.”
Intense Focus Production
We are developing animated documentaries about Nigerian history and the wider stories that shape our world. We bring together writing, cinematic composition, illustration, maps and editing to make complex events clear and compelling.
The Biafran War is our first project in this documentary series. We’ll share more as the film takes shape.
