Fincho is a 1957 Nigerian film by Sam Zebba, and the first Nigerian film to be shot in colour. The film deals with the titular character's attempts to make sense of the industrialization brought to Nigeria by European colonialists, the tension between tradition and innovation, and mechanization's threat to traditional labour.[3]
According to Zebba's self-published autobiography, the film was shot with Nigerian non-professional actors, and
Alexander Laszlo, including the theme Fincho Song - which Zebba wrote, and then sang accompanied by a small Mexican band.[4]
