Green White Green
Nigeria • 2016
Shot on location in Lagos, and playing like a cross between American Graffiti and Be Kind Rewind, in this richly textured and frequently funny look at Nigeria's next generation, a group of young bohemian artists hang out and search for direction in their lives in the stagnant months leading up to the beginning of their university studies.
Green White Green humorously explores social and political views commonly held throughout Nigeria, with each character representing one of the country’s three major ethnic groups. A story about classism and how people from different economic and cultural backgrounds think and behave, Abba T. Makama's feature debut plays with stereotypes to illustrate just how similar we are despite our diversity and prejudices.
