Berlin-based film expert Dorothee Wenner follows film producer extraordinaire Peace Anyiam-Fiberesima as she travels the streets of Laos cutting deals and green-lighting projects in this profile of Nigeria's booming direct-to-video movie industry. Colloquially known as Nollywood, this thriving film industry turns out approximately 2000 new features every year, generating $250 million in the process and making it a close third to Hollywood and Bollywood in terms of cash generated. In addition to speaking with the producer who plays a crucial role in getting many of these films made, Wenner also speaks with people like editor and 3D effects specialist Maimunah Sayyadi who can frequently be found in the editing room with an infant on her lap as she edits the works of her husband Faruk, a prolific Nigerian filmmaker.

terrible... so disappointed.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
