Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Environmental sustainability has become a critical global priority, with significant emphasis placed on addressing issues like deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Films, as a powerful medium of communication, have been utilized worldwide to raise awareness and inspire action toward sustainable practices. In Nigeria, including Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, environmental challenges such as land degradation and waste management remain significant concerns (Ibrahim & Adeyemi, 2023). Films have the capacity to engage audiences emotionally and intellectually, making complex issues like sustainability accessible and relatable (Abubakar & Oyeleke, 2024). Recent research highlights the growing use of storytelling in films to promote eco-friendly behaviors and advocate for sustainable development (Yusuf, 2023).
