Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s astonishing, Orange Prize-winning novel is brought to the screen in a sweeping, epic production written and directed by Nigerian playwright Biyi Bandele. Nigeria’s struggle for independence in the 1960s is captured through the lives and loves of very different twin sisters. Sociology professor Olanna is beguiled by charismatic revolutionary Odenigbo whilst her sister Kainene marries white British writer Richard. Their struggles and sacrifices mirror a chaotic country torn apart by ethnic conflict, class and race, and urgently seeking to break the chains of its colonialist past. GFF14
