Nigeria: Nollywood

Nigerian Times writes about the Nigerian film industry known as Nollywood. “Nigeria is Nollywood and Nollywood is Nigeria! It is the story of a people who dream dreams shaped by material reality elsewhere – in fancied societies. They identify and lift (for adoption) features of better organized and sophisticated societies, but stop short of the effort to make those things real in their own societies.”
