In 1976, answering a call greater than personal glory, Nigerian athletes walked away from the Montreal Olympics—boycotting the games in protest against apartheid, under the directive of the government led by General Olusegun Obasanjo. These young men and women sacrificed their dreams on the altar of national solidarity. And then… they were forgotten.
For over 40 years, their bravery remained unrewarded—until one man, Air Peace Chairman/CEO Allen Onyema, stepped forward to right history’s wrong. In a deeply moving gesture, he gathered the surviving heroes, honored their sacrifice, and gave them what the nation never did: recognition, compensation, and dignity.
This documentary tells the story of patriotism, pain, and the redemptive power of gratitude.
