Trachoma is a painful disease of the eyes and the major cause of blindness or visual impairment in 1.9 million people worldwide. The eye infection is a major public health concern in 44 countries and causes irreversible blindness if left untreated.

Abdullahi traveled to the home of Rahila Abubakar in Magamar Jibiya, a rural town in Katsina, northwestern Nigeria, to document the life of Rahila who got infected by Trachoma and became blind 15 years ago. The documentary highlights how the disease affects Rahila's life and education.
