Ayo in Waving Flag Documentary

Posted in: Blog, Culture, Public Relations, Videos by Ms. Ayo Fashola on September 29, 2011 4:16 pm

On Oct 1st, Nigerian Independence Day, I will be premiering in my first movie documentary produced and directed by director and film-maker Adetiba.

You are cordially invited to the Dallas premiere of my documentary ‘Waving Flag’. In an effort to celebrate the rich culture of Africans all over the world as well as bridge the gap between their African American counterparts, this documentary was made.

As a young Nigerian I grew tired of the negative, inaccurate, and biased portrayals Western media showed of Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The media would have people believe we are an uneducated, uncivilized, undeveloped nation. We can sit around and complain about the unfair portrayal, but if we do nothing to incite change we will never be better. Chinua Achebe said, “If you don’t like someone’s story, write your own.” This is what we have set out to do. In the movie we interviewed a wide variety of Nigerians about their life experiences before coming to America, first impressions of the US, and hope for the future of Nigeria.

It was 8a.m. and I am not a morning person and I was sleepy, but we made it happen. Below is the trailer for the movie
