Authentic Narratives in a Renaissance: Preserving Yoruba Culture through Film

A renaissance in cultural storytelling is taking root in South West Nigeria, with a surge in epic films like Anikulapo, Ageshinkole, Jagunjagun, Moremi, and the recent Lisabi. These movies celebrate Yoruba heritage, offering powerful portrayals of history, tradition, and identity, yet they also invite discussion on accuracy in depicting the past. Funke Treasure highlights how our filmmakers are bridging the knowledge gap left by a rigid educational system. However, she cautions about the responsibility filmmakers hold in presenting historical facts authentically, especially in narratives involving cultural icons and women’s roles. The impact of film in shaping cultural understanding is immense, and preserving the true essence of our history demands careful storytelling.
