A Nollywood thriller shot for $1 million has topped Netflix charts as far away as South Korea, showing streamers the potential of African cinema.
The Black Book is one of the most expensive Nigerian movies ever made, with a $1 million budget raised in part from Nigeria’s tech elite, including the cofounder of fintech unicorn Flutterwave, Gbenga Abgoola, and Piggyvest’s Odun Eweniyi.
The film stars Nollywood veteran Richard Mofe Damijo as a former secret military agent whose child is framed and subsequently murdered by corrupt police officers. The film follows Damijo’s character as he embarks on a convoluted journey to wrestle justice from the hands of the perpetrators and dismantle a rotten institution that he helped build.
