CINEMA: Area Boys Gives Good Food for Thought

I love it when filmmakers feel inclined to let us in on little piece of their lives. In Area Boys, filmmaker Omelihu “Mel” Nwanguma, takes us back to Nigeria to tell us a story about “overcoming the struggles of life”. One of the most interesting things about the film, is it shows how certain life decisions are universal. Most people are a product of their environment, and whether illegal or not the make decisions based on what they have been taught. I think that it is hard for anyone to ingest a new set of ideals when it conflicts with what they were raised on. To put in laymen’s if you are raised a thief, it is hard to break from that way of life and choose to do the right thing. And likewise, if you were raised capitalistic, turning against using a sweatshop, might take an act of G*d. Either way there is a bigger moral question; I think anyone can identify with this movie. We will keep you posted on the development of Area Boys, keep it locked!
