Biyi Bandele

Bandele directed the historical drama, Half of A Yellow Sun, which starred big names such as Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton in 2013.

The critical acclaim of the film brought international recognition to the Nigerian director who has gone on to take projects with such themes as identity, feminism and modernity.

His most recent, Fifty, is currently streaming on Netflix.
