It’s nice to see women directors and producers for a change! Nollywood is quite an industry.
I wonder why these movies are branded as such. I can’t remember the last time I saw a Nollywood movie that wasn’t about some strong social issue.
I think the way they put it was that issues like domestic violence or human trafficking were taboo and not talked about as much at least in Nollywood films.
I love Nollywood! It’s a step in the right direction… a good thing to start using movies as a way to educate the public on some these pressing issues.
Nollywood is doing big things! I mean this way of thinking is ital.
We should always focus on social issues so that we can solve them as early as posible. ^
