Things Fall Apart

BR Deutschland Nigeria USA 1971 Spielfilm

Summary

"Things Fall Apart" is the intensely personal, intimate story of conflict in the lives of three generations of West Africans coming to grips with the white man. Told from an African point of view, it is the saga of two lifetimes, of a parallel destiny reacting to an alien and perhaps destructive influence. It is the probe of the origins, the roots of black-white conflict.

Adapted from two novels of Chinua Achebe, "Things Fall Apart" and "No Longer At Ease", the Technicolor production stars British-Senegalese John Sekka and Ugandan Princess Elizabeth of Toro. "Things Fall Apart" was filmed almost entirely in Nigeria.
