Half Of A Yellow Sun

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.

My take

An intimate, unflinching portrait of two sisters navigating love, ambition, and conscience as their nation fractures. Sweeping yet deeply personal—the kind of film that lingers because it refuses easy answers.
