Nollywood


Nollywood the film industry in Nigeria is the second largest film industry in the world. It produces more films than the United States but not quit enough to beat Bollywood(the film industry of India). The first films were made in the 1960s but now since technology has made it easier and more cost efficient the industry has picked up. Nollywood is seemingly low budget, the packaging is cheaply made and most copies are actually pirated. It features themes such as romance, family drama, religious issues, corruption and things like witchcraft or vampires. Even with this stigma it is said to be one of the top things you to see this year.
