Ithaca College

 Join the IC African Students Association for our second event of Africa Week!

 We will be screening the film, "Half of A Yellow Sun," which is an adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's acclaimed book. 

"With effortless grace, celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor’s beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover’s charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna’s willful twin sister Kainene. Half of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative movie of the promise, hope, and disappointment of the Biafran war."

We will be watching the movie in Textor 101 at 7PM this Tuesday!
