She Survived Biafra... Then Made History at the WTO | The Untold Story of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

She survived the Nigerian Civil War. She lost everything. Then she became the first African and the first woman to lead the World Trade Organization (WTO). This is the extraordinary true story of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, one of Africa's most influential leaders, told through her roots in Ogwashi-Uku, an Enuani Igbo kingdom in Delta State, Nigeria. From surviving the horrors of the Biafran War (1967–1970) to studying at Harvard University and MIT, serving twice as Nigeria's Minister of Finance, negotiating the historic $18 billion Paris Club debt relief, and eventually becoming Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), her journey is one of resilience, courage, and global leadership. This documentary explores the untold story behind her remarkable rise and the family, culture, and history that shaped one of the world's most respected economists.
