Months after the demolition of homes across parts of Makoko and other waterfront communities, many residents are still struggling to rebuild their lives. Families now sleep in overcrowded boats, makeshift shelters, and temporary spaces, while parents and children grapple with uncertainty, loss, and the daily challenge of finding safety, food, and a place to call home.
This documentary examines Lagos’ housing crisis, human cost of urban development, while highlighting the realities facing residents long after the bulldozers left. It also revisits ongoing conversations around relocation plans for affected communities, as survivors continue to navigate life without the homes and stability they once knew.
