The documentary "October 2020" sheds light on the grave situation of state violence and the atrocities faced by protesters during Nigeria's #ENDSARS demonstrations. The film is produced by the Tiger Eye Foundation, a non-profit organization promoting African investigative journalism.

The documentary showcases the experiences of people like Mr Moses, a Lagos-based artisan, who participated in a peaceful protest that ended up being violent at Lekki Tollgate in Lagos. The protesters were faced with live bullets from the Nigerian army despite having only the Nigerian flag and national anthem as their weapons. It was a sad moment in the fight against police brutality, especially the infamous Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

"October 2020" is not just a story of a tragic event but also a powerful narrative that reflects the impact of the #ENDSARS movement on Nigeria and the world. The documentary captures the voices of activists, experts, and young protesters, each sharing their unique yet universally heartbreaking experiences of police brutality.

The film serves as a historical testament, ensuring that the lessons learned from the #ENDSARS movement continue to echo through time, giving hope for a future where justice and humanity prevail. It symbolizes a significant step in the global discourse on state violence, highlighting the universal implications of Nigeria's fight against police oppression.
