About the Book

In the early 1990s, something extraordinary began in Nigeria that would ripple across the African continent and beyond. What started as a grassroots movement-using video cassettes and low-budget production-has since blossomed into Nollywood, the second-largest film industry in the world, both in terms of output and cultural influence. From bustling markets in Lagos to cinema screens in Europe and the U.S., Nollywood has become a symbol of African ingenuity, creativity, and storytelling power.

Nollywood: Nigeria's Film Industry and Its Global Impact is a journey through the origins, rise, and transformation of this unique film industry. This book is a deep dive into how Nollywood emerged from the ashes of economic hardship, turning obstacles into opportunities. It examines how a nation rich in culture, yet challenged by resource limitations, managed to create a vibrant and resilient industry that now tells the stories of Africa to the world.

Over the years, Nollywood has evolved, both in content and production quality. It has moved beyond Nigeria's borders, gaining international attention and reshaping African cinema's identity. This preface serves to acknowledge not only the filmmakers, actors, and visionaries who have been instrumental in this evolution but also the audience-those who have embraced Nollywood films, helping them become an integral part of the global cultural landscape.

This book is not just a history lesson but also a celebration of how Nollywood is redefining African storytelling. It explores the cultural, social, and economic impacts of this burgeoning industry and how its influence continues to grow across continents. In the following chapters, you will meet the pioneers and the modern-day innovators, discover the challenges Nollywood has faced, and explore the triumphs that have made it a global powerhouse.

Whether you are a film enthusiast, a scholar, or someone curious about the intersection of cinema and African identity, I hope this book provides you with fresh insights into Nollywood's remarkable journey. As Nollywood continues to break new ground and expand its horizons, this exploration is timely, offering a lens through which to appreciate one of the most dynamic cultural movements of our time.

Welcome to Nollywood.
