The movie director of Popular Movie, Half Of A Yellow Sun says censors are delaying the Nigerian premiere of the movie “Half of a Yellow Sun.”
The screen adaptation of Chinamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel is the story of two sisters caught up in Nigeria’s 1960s civil war, when the southeast tried to form an independent nation called Biafra. About 1 million people died, most of famine.
The film promoters are making frantic efforts to remove the offensive sections and get the film approved.
Nigerian-born British director Biyi Bandele posted a tweet Friday saying “It’s all true” that they were having difficulty with the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board. No one answered the telephone at the board Friday. Some say the film may be banned because it could whip up tribal sentiment.
