1.1 Background of the Study
Films are a powerful medium for shaping public opinion and influencing behaviors, including political engagement. In Nigeria, where youth constitute a significant portion of the electorate, films that depict political themes can profoundly impact voting behavior by raising awareness about civic responsibilities, election processes, and the importance of informed choices (Mohammed & Yakubu, 2023). In Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno State, where political engagement is critical for development, understanding the influence of film on youths’ voting behavior provides valuable insights into leveraging media for democratic participation.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of films to influence voting behavior, limited research exists on their impact on youths in politically sensitive areas like Gwoza. This study seeks to address the gap by exploring how films shape youths’ political awareness and engagement, particularly in a region with unique challenges such as insecurity and voter apathy (Adamu & Ali, 2024).
