Nigeria’s film industry is creeping back to work after lockdown, and one of the first productions to resume is a new television series about a highly infectious disease that has ravaged the world
ABUJA/LAGOS - .
Better known as Nollywood, the multibillion dollar industry churns out movies and TV shows at a rate second only to India’s Bollywood and employs one million people. But productions have had to be stripped right back. The crew wear face masks, actors keep their distance from one another as they deliver their lines and undergo regular temperature checks.
Cinemas in Nigeria are still shut indefinitely and the consultancy predicts that up to 250,000 people employed in Nollywood, from designers to box office attendants, could lose their jobs. The shuttering of the cinema chain he co-founded and which accounts for 60% of his distribution revenue, has forced him to furlough around two thirds of his staff.
