Half
of a Yellow Sun is based on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie‘s novel of the same name,
which won the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2007. The drama follows twin sisters
Olanna and Kainene as their lives are dramatically changed by the events of the
Biafran War. As the trailer shows, it was an extremely tumultuous time.
Weddings were interrupted by bombs going off. Along with the violence and
destruction, the sisters also face personal troubles with their respective lovers.
The
film is loaded down with talented names: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton and
John Boyega (of Attack the Block), with acclaimed playwright Biyi Bandele at
the helm.
The
film does not have a release date yet, but it will be shown at the Toronto
International Film Festival in September.
