TV DAVID OYELOWO TEAMS UP WITH BBC FOR A LIMITED SERIES ABOUT BIAFRA
My Nigerian heritage and desire to see African stories told at the highest level has led to Biafra being one of my most treasured projects. My parents married across the tabooed tribal lines of the Biafran conflict, and it shaped my life, much as it has done to millions of Nigerians. To be able to bring the amazing talents of director Ngozi Onwurah, who I first worked with on Shoot the Messenger, and writer, Bola Agbaje, who I’ve been seeking to work with for quite some time, makes this the definition of a passion project for me.
According to Deadline, the series will be set in the UK and Nigeria, with the story unfolding across two main timelines: the present day, and the 1967-70 Biafra War
