Vintage 8mm footage from Lagos, Nigeria, in 1969 shows a group of men setting up a large green tarp shelter on a grassy field under acacia trees. The men, dressed in casual shirts and trousers, work together to erect the frame and secure the tarp, with one carrying a bundle of hay. The scene unfolds in bright daylight, capturing the natural landscape and the communal effort of constructing a temporary shelter. The film exhibits characteristic Super 8 grain and color saturation, offering authentic archival footage of everyday life and outdoor activity in late 1960s Nigeria.
