Nollywood: The Nigerian Movie Industry
The Nigerian film industry is very much integrated with Nigerian popular culture. The emergence of the Nigerian videofilm industry is a cultural phenomenon and Nigerian videofilms serve as a representation of Nigerian culture. The emergence of Nollywood might be the answer to many people with an African heritage who seek solace and reconnection with their heritage. They resolve this by watching Nigerian videofilms.
Nollywood has been generally beneficial in terms of promoting African culture, dignity, and the need for greater levels of social justice in Africa and for Africans who live abroad. Movies that are made in Africa and about Africa help to bridge continents and the people who live on them, providing critically important points of reference for immigrant people who are struggling to reconcile dual identities as citizens of their countries of origins and citizens or residents of the new society in which they are trying to adapt and build new lives.
