Half of a Yellow Sun, adapted from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's well-regarded novel, explores the story of Olanna (Thandie Newton) and Kainene (Anika Noni Rose), twins who come from an affluential Nigerian family. After returning to a privileged city life in a newly independent Nigeria after receiving an English education, the two women diverge on different paths. Preoccupied by their romantic entanglements, and a betrayal between the sisters, the events of their lives seem to loom larger than politics. However, the sisters become caught up with the political upheaval in Nigeria, in which the Igbo people fought an impassioned struggle to establish Biafra as an independent republic, ending in chilling violence which shocked the entire world.
