Half Of A Yellow Sun Premier In Lagos
Lagos, Nigeria was brought to a standstill last night, Saturday April 12, 2014, as the premiere of the enthralling motion picture, Sun, and the cast of A-list Hollywood and Nollywood stars quietened the usually raucous streets of Victoria Island. This event marked the first Hollywood-style film premiere in Nigeria and witnessed the largest ever assembly of Hollywood's most celebrated A-Listers in Nigeria.

In continuance of its world-wide acclaim and overwhelming appreciation, the much awaited Sun thrilled a grateful audience and enjoyed a rapturous and unending standing ovation. The movie is set for release nationwide on the 25 of April, 2014.
Half of a Yellow Sun is a beautifully crafted adaptation and flies off the pages of the international best seller by our very own Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Set in 1960s Nigeria, Half of a Yellow Sun is an enormously powerful, entertaining, and uplifting epic love-story, weaving the lives of four people swept up in the turbulence of love and war. Half of a yellow Sun has struck a special chord with moviegoers around the world and is set to move the nation of its birth in a big way.
