The Nigeria Film and Video Censorship Board, (NFVCB), has banned the
widely publicized and internationally acclaimed film, Half of A Yellow
Sun which has been premiered in Nigeria.
But information reaching us is that the film promoters are making frantic
efforts to remove the offensive sections and get the film approved.
Sources
said that the film, an adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel
is being stopped from getting into the market due to parts that tend to
whip up tribal sentiments, especially on issues that led to the Nigerian
civil war.
The filmmaker further revealed that, “with the Boko Haram
insurgency and the Adamawa State governor’s outburst, the NFVCB is
living up to its billing.”
Half of a Yellow Sun is a 2013 Nigerian
drama film directed by Biyi Bandele and based on the novel of Adichie.
The film is a love story that follows two sisters who are caught up in
the outbreak of the Nigerian Civil War and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor,
Thandie Newton, Onyeka Onwenu, Genevieve Nnaji and OC Ukeje.
