In a dystopian future, Lagos is bursting beyond capacity. The government’s solution? Skylands — a gleaming city suspended above the clouds, reserved for the “chosen.”
Adesola’s selection feels like hope. A new beginning. A reunion with loved ones who ascended before her.
But paradise quickly reveals its true nature.
As Adesola uncovers the horrifying mechanics behind the Ascension Program, she realizes the sky city is not a refuge — it’s a cover-up for mass digital imprisonment and population control.
THE ASCENSION is a bold Nigerian sci-fi short film that blends African futurism, dystopian tension, and cutting-edge AI filmmaking. It asks a chilling question:
What if the future they promised… already killed you?
