Ramsey Nouah: I was six years old at the time, so no memories but stories from people that came in close contact with the incident, and I find the stories compelling for history. Being cast for 76 gave me an opportunity to totally immerse in the history of that time. I am not even so sure it was a part of history lessons in high school. Anything I knew before working on 76 were just bits and pieces of information from family. Rita Dominic: I have no first hand memories as I was a toddler.

On their memories of Nigeria’s military regime: I had worked with him before and I knew how much passion he has for making films. 76 was a significant period in Nigeria’s history Secondly, the director Izu ojukwu is a filmmaker I greatly admire and I felt that if anyone could do justice to the story it would be him. I had never really done a period piece and I felt this would be a fantastic opportunity. Rita Dominic: First the story being set in in 1976 was a big draw. I find the character endearing, narrating the travails of a soldier and the pains of his loved ones. For the character, I admire soldiers and have always wanted to depict it in our movies. For the story it’s one of Nigeria’s history that needed to be told. Ramsey Nouah: The story and the character.
