Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian novelist. He had a title of chieftain of Igbo tribe and wrote novels about its customs. That was portrayed as sophisticated, passed down through generations.
Westerners may mistaken them as ‘primitive and savage’. But Achebe showed Igbo people's rich cultural background through his narrations. Igbo proverbs, ‘the art of conversation", were frequently quoted in his novels.
The non-violent nature of Igbo was demonstrated by events like the peaceful agreement with the Mbaino tribe during a murder in Igbo by a Mbaino man.
If I was a hollywood movie producer and I am remaking this video for a 21st century audience, I would want to have Morgan Freeman as my speaker and set the scene at a futuristic setting. A futuristic setting would include any science fiction concepts. Having Morgan Freeman would not only make the audience get interested with a video having a familiar voice in it, but it would give depth and meaning to the entire idea itself. It would align with the on going trends of the 21st century. It would also make it entertaining. While making this, I would make sure to still hold the video contents but with more added features to make the video enticing. Also add probably more animations or simulations to show what the video actually means.
