TW Magazine
presents its May 2014 issue starring ‘Half
of a Yellow Sun’ lead actors, Chiwetel
Ejiofor and Thandie Newton.
Fresh off a super busy awards season which saw him pick up
the BAFTA award for “Best Actor” and
a Oscar nomination, he visited Nigeria to help promote the production.
Having lost his father at the young age of 11, Chiwetel
opens up for the first time about how his mother (Obiajulu Ejiofor) raised him
and his siblings alone.
He speaks of how the movie Half Of A Yellow Sun resonates with him, as 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.
The movie’s director, Biyi
Bandele and executive producer, Yewande
Sadiku give an insight into their 6-year labour of love, which birthed the
epic tale of love and war, set during the Nigerian Civil war of the 1960s.
The 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 glimpse into what working behind the scenes of the big budget
movie was like.
TW also catch up
with singer-songwriter, Aramide,
Nigeria Info presenter Inya Odeh and Jibeh Olegeh (CEO R-Wells Media).
