When danger came silently across the border, a group of medical professionals stood between life and a national catastrophe.

93 Days (2016) is a gripping medical thriller based on true events that unfolded in Lagos, Nigeria, during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. But this isn’t just a story about a virus—it’s about courage, sacrifice, and humanity at its best when faced with its worst.

The True Story Behind the Film

On July 20, 2014, a Liberian-American man carrying the Ebola virus arrived at Lagos airport. What followed was a race against time, as Nigerian doctors and public health workers scrambled to contain what could have become a devastating epidemic in Africa’s most populous country.

At the heart of the crisis was Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh, who took the difficult decision to quarantine the infected patient, risking her career, her life, and ultimately—her future.

93 Days chronicles those tense, uncertain days through the eyes of those who faced the crisis head-on, highlighting how quick action, collective will, and selfless decisions saved millions of lives.
