Nigerian Peoples and Culture - 102 Hours of Identity
Guinness World Records Attempt for Longest Documentary Film
Why This is Important
"Until the lions learn to write, the tale will always glorify the hunter."
This project is about identity and representation; it documents historical origins, cultural festivals, traditional fashion, language, cuisine, music, religion, marriage and social ceremonies, occupations and arts, and tourist attractions: this is an attempt to share true and unbiased cultural stories from the people who own the cultures, to a global audience—and for posterity.
About Famous Isaacs
The Visionary Behind the Project
Famous Isaacs is a storyteller and communications professional. A Nigerian, and a husband and father, Famous Isaacs works as a writer, runway photographer, docufilmmaker, and advocate of Afroculturalism.
He is the convener of African Bridal Fashion Festival, an event where different Nigerian cultures present their bridal fashion pieces, and through discussions about these bridal fashion works the audience gets to learn about the stories of the cultures, and celebrate them.
Famous Isaacs understands that for too long, much of African histories have been misconstrued and misrepresented. Through his company, StoryLabAfrica LTD, he uses the power of film to platform people and cultures and give them opportunities to tell their stories and tell them right.
