Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Corruption remains a pervasive issue in Nigeria, undermining governance, economic development, and social justice. Films, as a medium of storytelling and advocacy, have been used to expose corruption, highlight its consequences, and advocate for accountability (Eze & Musa, 2023). In Jega Local Government Area, Kebbi State, where corruption impacts local governance and service delivery, films offer a platform for raising awareness and sparking dialogue. By portraying corruption’s effects on individuals and communities, films can mobilize public sentiment against corrupt practices and inspire collective action.
