I realized, as a New Canadian, that this amazing story of bravery by Canadians has been forgotten or not told at all to my generation, as well as preceding and following ones in the postbellum period – not only in Nigeria but also in Canada. A city that was full of inspiring spots, artistic opportunities, and loud nightlife. Lights OutProduced by horror master James Wan (The Conjuring), Lights Out is the feature expansion of director David F. Conversations with my parents whilst growing up, and more recently, my Father-in-law and his former teacher (a former Canadian Presbyterian missionary to Nigeria), stirred my curiosity about the Canadian effort to relieve human suffering during the war. As a result of this, my generation and I have grown up never fully knowing or grasping the sheer scale of the war, or the size and extent of the war relief effort it spawned in its wake. The history of Nigeria, as it is taught in Nigerian schools, deliberately excludes details of the controversial Nigerian Civil War aka The Biafran War – the secession of Eastern Nigeria (named BIAFRA), following brutal widespread attacks against Eastern Nigerians amidst the seeds of intra-ethnic discord planted during decades of British colonial rule in Nigeria. The film 'Operation Lights Out: The Story of CANAIRELIEF' is streaming globally from May 30th, 2023. Though the recognition, honour, and gratitude for their sacrifice might have been delayed, it is my fervent hope that it will not be denied. A long overdue (over half a century) homage needs to be paid.

As I ask in the film, how did one of Canada's finest hours of bravery, selflessness, and humanitarianism get left in the past and forgotten? We really must honour, illustrate, and document the sacrifices of these heroes. And worse, when I met and interviewed the last surviving pilot of CANAIRELIEF, who flew into danger and gave of himself until he was spent, I discovered that we were the first ones to formally debrief him about what happened, and some of his experiences are documented in the film. Their immense and ultimate sacrifices were simply forgotten. They simply went back to their lives as if nothing happened. Rebecca must unlock the terror behind her. Not only that, but those who died have never been honoured or recognized, and those who returned were neither debriefed nor recognized by anyone. With Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Alexander DiPersia, Billy Burke. During my 5-year journey making this film, so many people I met had never heard of the crucial role Canadians played in the success of the Biafran Airlift. Brian Eggert While Sandberg orchestrates a few sequences of heavy tension, Lights Out doesnt quite click or retain a place in our minds after the end credits.
