2 of the
biggest cast members of the film adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun are the cover personalities on TW Magazine
May 2014 edition. Both are accomplished thespians of the best kind.
Losing his
father at the very young age of 11, Chiwetel opens up for the first time about
how his mother (Obiajulu Ejiofor) raised him and his siblings alone; and how
the movie Half Of A Yellow Sun, (HOAYS) resonates with him. His then
13-year-old mother was directly affected by the Biafra war in which she lost a
brother. Chiwetel also speaks candidly about growing up in a very Nigerian
household and his hopes for the Nigerian film industry, which he plans to be a
part of.
We also
spoke with the director Biyi Bandele and executive producer Yewande Sadiku
about the 6-year labour of love that birthed the epic tale of love and war,
which is set during the Nigerian Civil war of the 1960s.
Our celebrity page this month features four key actors from the HOAYS
movie Gloria Young, Tina Mba, Naya Amobi and Reginald Ofodile as they give us a
