A historical movie is just a movie about history. (yawn!). Does it make it a great movie? No, But it is only a great movie when you add human interest elements to the mix. A great character, and then set him up in the mix of the wahala (challenges) of the world around him. THAT IS HALF OF A YELLOW SUN. And it debuts in Silverbird Cinemas today! (bring a date and 1,500)
The synopsis is as follows " Sisters Olanna and Kainene return home to 1960s Nigeria, where they soon diverge on different paths. As civil war breaks out, political events loom larger than their differences as they join the fight to establish an independent republic" .
