Desmond Ovbiagele's 'The Milkmaid' is not the first film about insurgency but will rise to the ranks of the best to tell it. Think of writing a story of insurgency in Nigeria as being stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. It is a matter of religion on one end, the government's incompetence on the other and we might never be truly ready to face the realities of both squarely.
Regardless, these stories need to be told even at the cost of antagonism from the keepers of both divides. Desmond Ovbiagele 's 'The Milkmaid' dares to not walk on eggshells in its narration of the painful reality of communities ravaged by terrorism.
