[Translate to English:] Cover

The streaming website offers viewers a large variety of Nollywood films, ranging from romantic comedies to thrillers and dramas.

Colloquially called "Nollywood" (short for Nigeria and Hollywood), the Nigerian film industry has gained attention from the popular streaming website Netflix. As of the beginning of 2020, several Nigerian productions have been made available, such as Citation (2020), Òlòtūré (2020) or Lionheart (2018).

Recently, the German newspaper FAZ and the British The Guardian wrote about the growing significance of Nollywood productions for Netflix.
