Rare Photograph of Chinua Achebe and German Director of "Things Fall Apart"
"Writers don't give prescriptions, they give headaches!"
~ Chinua Achebe
I have just received rare photographs of the greatest bestselling Nigerian novelist, Chinua Achebe (16 November 1930 – 21 March 2013) which have not been published before. They were sent by the family of Hansjürgen (Jason) Pohland ( 4 December 1934, Berlin, Germany - 17 May 2014, Mandelieu-La Napoule, France.)
Pohland was the director of the first international co-production by Calpenny (Nigeria), Cine 3, (West Germany), and Niagram (U.S.), the 1971 film adaptation of "Things Fall Apart", 1958 and "No Longer at Ease", 1960, that was released as "Bullfrog in the Sun", produced by Francis Adetunji Oladele (1932 – June 22, 2015), the Father of Nigerian Cinema.
