Between Good and Evil

In this gripping narrative, veteran journalist Mellissa Fung exposes the largely overlooked story of the Nigerian girls abducted by Boko Haram, beginning with the shocking mass kidnapping in April 2014. Drawing from her own experience as a former captive, she conducts in-depth interviews with survivors and their families, revealing the harrowing realities of their abduction, forced marriages, and the challenges they face upon returning home. Through the personal stories of girls like Gambo, Asma’u, and Zara, as well as the efforts of local women combatting the terrorist group, Fung provides an unflinching look at resilience and resistance in the face of unimaginable hardship.
