Nollywood
The Making of a Film
Empire
Emily Witt
This
was an easy to read, brief history of how Nigeria developed a film
industry with its own unique voice. It looks at the hardships faced
by film makers, actors and distributors and how much has changed in
the past twenty or so years. Thus, giving the reader an insight into
what makes this industry tick.
I loved
the fact that the author was able to capture the chaotic, liveliness
of a country with such a diverse population. I appreciated the
details of the various films which were showcased. They all sounded
like films I would love to see. In the end, this book made me more
interested in African story telling in general and what the film
industry in Nigeria might produce in the future.
Thanks
to Columbia Global Reports for allowing me to read this book in
exchange for an honest review.
