Waiting for a Down To Earth Biafran War Film

We have critically acclaimed books and documentaries on the Biafran war. But no film has been able to capture the terrifying woes in motion picture.
Nigerian filmmakers have failed to produce a movie that showed the grim realities of this unforgettable harrowing experience of the Nigerian Civil War from July  6,1967 – January 15, 1970.
I am saying this authoritatively as one of the Biafran children who survived the calamities that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of other ill-fated Igbo children, including three children of my beloved mother and more than 35,000 Biafran soldiers, including several of my  brave uncles.

The best way to capture the tragic nightmares of the Biafran war is the film adaptation of the eye witness accounts of the war in the memoirs of Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Elechi Amadi and others and not the film adaptation of the romantic novels of prize writers who never went through the harrowing experience.

I may adapt my own short account of all I could remember for a feature with a different title focusing on how my beloved mother, Mrs. Gladys Eke lost three of her six children, because none of her in-laws and relations helped her during the tragic war. I knew my uncles and aunts were wicked, because all their own children survived. Wicked IPOB people. I thank Almighty God three of her beautiful children, including myself survived. But my elder brother passed on last October in Aba, Abia state of south eastern Nigeria.
