"I am excited about making this movie at this moment because Nigerians will appreciate how much effort, the military has to go through and the sacrifices they make to ensure we have the peace we are experiencing. We have seen firsthand what they go through and if we begin to appreciate them they will do more.
"In this film, we win this fight so we are going to win the fight in the real life also. We make films to give people hope and in this movie we have that hope, we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
The film is one of the first collaborations between Nollywood and the Nigerian Air Force and also stars Francis Duru, Sadiq Daba, Keppy Ekpenyong, Paul Apel Papel among others.
