>> film society presents

The melodramatic2006 best-sellingbook by Chima-manda NgozeAdichie, Half of a Yel-low Sun, is arguablythe most evocative lit-erary account to dateof the Nigerian CivilWar that brutalizedthe country between1967 and 1970.

The film, based onthis novel, begins onOctober 1, 1960, theday Nigeria becameindependent from theUnited Kingdom.

Central to the sto-ryline are Olannaand Kainene; glam-ourous twins from awealthy Nigerianfamily.

Upon returning toa privileged city life innewly independent1960s Nigeria aftertheir expensive Eng-lish education, thetwo women makevery differentchoices.

Olanna shocks herfamily by going to live

with her lover, the“revolutionary profes-sor” Odenigbo in thedusty university townof Nsukka.

Her sister,Kainene turns out tobe a fiercely suc-cessful business-woman when shetakes over the familyinterests and falls inlove with Richard, anEnglish writer.

Preoccupied bytheir romantic entan-glements, and a be-trayal between thesisters, the events oftheir life seem toloom larger than poli-tics.

However, they be-come caught up inthe events of theNigerian civil war, inwhich the lgbo peo-ple fought an impas-sioned struggle toestablish Biafra as anindependent repub-lic, ending in chillingviolence whichshocked the entireworld.
