Should more Nigerian filmmakers tackle historical trauma in their storytelling?
Context
Shabana Amzi’s focus on themes like vulnerability and historical memory in 'Batwara 1947' got me thinking about our own cinema. Many Nigerian filmmakers prefer commercial comedy or romance, but do you think we need more artists willing to document our nation's painful past, like the Civil War or colonial struggles? Can artistic vulnerability in storytelling help us heal as a society, or is it better to leave the past alone?
