Ogbo are a special part of village life in Nigeria, uniting children of the same age in a lifelong friendship---a group with whom they celebrate festivals, share day-to-day chores, and face the challenges of growing up.
In this affectionate portrait of an age-old African tradition, a young girl named Obioma helps us understand what belonging to an ogbo means. As she introduces the members of her family, Obioma proudly celebrates their ogbo's accomplishments---from the cleaning of the village square to the building of houses and schools, and from the resolution of disputes to the making of music. Growing, working, and relaxing together, the ogbo weave the fabric of village life.
