Nollywood, Nigeria's film industry, is now priced at $
5 billion and makes more films than Hollywood in the
U.S, but less than the largest film industry, India's
Bollywood, according to Al Jazeera. Nigeria's film industry has only
14 cinemas available
to a country that is home to more than 170 million
people. Each week, Nollywood creates as many as 50
original Nigerian films. These films are created for a price range starting from
$10,000 or below, and are later placed directly onto
DVDs to be sold by movie hubs and hawkers in the
street. Nollywood is an industry that has high turnover and
challenges the western mode of storytelling. It also
employs an astounding number of citizens without
government or foreign aid, making it also the second
largest industry by number of employees in the
country.
