Although Adichie’s novel is already on course to be produced by Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B (12 Years a Slave), with Lupita Nyong’o and David Oyelowo set to star in it, the film is still looking to attach a writer and director – and those are the roles Uche Aguh is hoping to prove he can fill with this concept trailer.

Americanah tells the story of young love torn apart by migration and the constant search for greener pastures. It is a deeply moving and profound story that challenges the idea of race, class, nationality, and socio-economic status.
