African Films and Short Stories

1. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Though I can't remember any other books or movies focusing on post colonial africa, Things Fall Apart was centralized around the time that the white men were invading various clans. Thus, it is perfect for demonstrating the change that the Africans underwent in terms of culture and religion and how Christianity came over. Also, it showed the ways in which Christians went about converting people from the Igbo clan of Umuofia.
