What is Three Sisters about?

Three Sisters takes us to Owerri, Nigeria, in 1967, at the dawn of the Biafran Civil War. Sisters Lolo, Nne Chukwu and Udo are grieving the loss of their father and long to return to their previous home in Lagos. This comes as no surprise as just a matter of months before, the country was plunged into chaos by two military coups. The provincial village is being encroached on by the conflict as the chaos is fuelled by foreign intervention causing it to grow rapidly. Is there an escape for the sisters who seek the safety of a place they once called home?
