Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Peaceful coexistence is essential for fostering development and harmony in multicultural societies. In Nigeria, where ethnic and religious diversity often leads to tensions, media such as Hausa films have emerged as a medium to promote understanding and tolerance (Abubakar & Musa, 2024). Hausa films, produced in Northern Nigeria, often reflect themes of unity, reconciliation, and mutual respect, resonating deeply with audiences in Zango Local Government Area, Katsina State. By portraying shared values and addressing divisive issues, these films encourage dialogue and foster a sense of community (Garba & Ibrahim, 2023). This study examines the impact of Hausa films in promoting peaceful coexistence in Zango, a region characterized by its diverse demographic composition.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts to promote peace in Zango, tensions arising from ethnic and religious differences persist. While Hausa films hold the potential to bridge divides, their role in fostering peaceful coexistence remains underexplored (Yusuf & Bello, 2023). This study seeks to understand the effectiveness of Hausa films as tools for peacebuilding in the Zango community, addressing the gap in research on their impact.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
