African Wood

At the mention of Nollywood, Riverwood, Ugawood and many other WOODs, the film industry comes to mind. Nollywood takes the crown for producing more films annually than Hollywood and Bollywood combined.

However, given the so many movies, how many have been awarded and attained international fame? Besides that the quality of production is still wanting. Without being so critical, I must agree that the African film industry came at a time when we needed it most and it has become a source of entertainment to many given that we can relate to  ideas presented. With this slight notion in mind, one asked, how come African movies however good they are hardly receive international fame? An interesting answer was given.

An interesting answer was given..Who awards the film stars, producers, directors and the entire filming crew? It is the dominant nations and that is what they want to maintain, Dominancy! So however much we struggle so long as the star is not from one of the dominant nations chances of recieving an Oscar or Academy award hangs in the balance...
