| dc.description.abstract | e relationship between film and the society is inextricable considering that they both mirror one another. While the society provides art and theatre with (operative) materials, art and the theatre have in return served the society as an X-ray of reality and option of reformation and reconstruction. In most cases, it portrays the historic past, immediate present and also has served prognostic purposes. e paper contends that films offer the society a lens from whence its societal behaviours, policies and the realities of people may be apprehended. Jeta Amata's Black November (2012) serves a microcosmic example of the realities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, which is discussed in this paper. e paper contend that Jeta Amata's Black November is an agitation propaganda film that exposes the politics in oil pilfering and the aer effect on communities in the Niger Delta area. e paper concludes that pragmatic steps should be taken to address issues in the Niger Delta so as ensure security of lives and property in the area; and more, provide a viable grievance mechanism to cater for inter/intra community and multinational relationships. | |
