Blackout is a movie that highlights the lack of electricity in Nigeria. For many years, life has been disrupted for the majority of Nigerians who rely on NEPA "PHCN" for their electricity. Public schools and hospitals closed for weeks; prison outbreaks; and most frustrating with no TV, radio nor phone charging. Madam Shan, an outspoken businesswoman and activist leads a fresh protest movement that rapidly gains public support all across the nation; but sadly, she is brutally assassinated. Her beloved son, Captain ABDALLA, "CRACKYDON" leaves the Nigerian Army upon hearing the terrible news and returns to his disrupted village.
