Welcome to the wild and wacky world of Nollywood, Nigerias explosive homegrown movie industry, where Jesus and voodoo vie for screen time. Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, known in Lagos as Da Governor, is one of the most influential men in Nollywood, a term coined in the early 1990s for the worlds fastest-growing national cinema, surpassed only by its American and Indian counterparts. This critically acclaimed documentary is peppered with outrageously juicy movie clips and buoyed by a rousing score that fuses Afropop and traditional sounds, NOLLYWOOD BABYLON celebrates the distinctive power of Nigerian cinema as it marvels in the magic of movies.
