Film Diplomacy: An Approach to International Relations: A Case of Nigeria and China

Despite the efforts of African countries' governments and foreign countries' governments, there are cautions between the people of Africa and the people of other countries. The cautions are based on the ideology of misconception, which comes from the narratives about Africa and African people and other people. Film is a mass medium of educating people about people in foreign countries they have never been to. Negative or misconceived narratives of a people by another people will affect the relations between the peoples, notwithstanding the politics of their governments. Using the popculture medium of film as a diplomatic tool will promote mutual understanding and respect among people of different countries, and this will change the negative narratives between the peoples.
