THINGS FALL APART – Scene 5B

Posted by admin on January 13th, 2010 and filed under customs tradition | 17 Comments »

The dramatization of the epic contribution of Professor Chinua Achebe’s book, “Things Fall Apart”. The book, transcribed to more than 300 languages worldwide is renowned for its contribution towards the development of African History as till date, it remains a point of reference far beyond post secondary education in Africa and beyond. It is thought that the account, as portrayed in the book, depicts customs and tradition of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, and drawn from events as they happened in Ogidi, the Home town of much admired CHINUALUMOGU ACHEBE.

    I think it’s excellent. The fact that it’s one of Nigeria’s first films says a lot, and you couldn’t ask for anything more authentic. Imagine Hollywood tried to tell this story. It would end up being completely false and they would probably re-write two thirds of the story.
