When the commonwealth and orange fiction award winner, Chimamanda Adichie wrote Half Of A Yellow Sun, we thought that was the best picture and the last stretch of imagination we would get on the Nigerian Civil War but it seems more is yet to be told about the Nigerian Civil war as Hollywood trained Nigerian Director, writer and film producer Sunny Ache is out to tell the story of the civil war in a film titled Unbreakable nation.

The film which will feature Hollywood and Nollywood actors with a black American with an African accent taking the role of Nzeogwu will be shot both in the UK and in Nigeria. It will boast of more than 10,000 people as cast with 5,000 acting as Biafran soldiers and another 5,000 acting as Nigerian troops. The film will be shot in 90 days. When asked if the film won’t cause any ripple, the director remarked that he is a Nigerian and he wouldn’t do any film that will jeopardise the unity of Nigerian.

Though a lot has been budgeted to be spent on the film, the producers of the film claim they have nothing to worry about as the film will only be in the cinemas for the first three months which will be an avenue for them to make their money back before pirates lay their hands on the movie. Investors will also have nothing to lose as 25 per cent profit awaits their investment in the movie.
With a good cast, props, directing, post production and a helping hand from Hollywood, who knows our own story of the Nigerian civil war may soon get nominations for the Oscars.
