Summary:

This film tells the story of the Nigerian film industry—a revolution enabling Africans with few resources to tell African stories to African audiences. Despite all odds, Nigerian directors produce 2,000 movies a year. The disks sell wildly all over the continent—Nollywood actors have become stars from Ghana to Zambia. We experience the world of Nollywood through acclaimed director Bond Emeruwa's quest to make a feature-length action film in just nine days. Armed only with a digital camera, and two lights, Bond faces challenges unimaginable in Hollywood and Bollywood. But, as Bond says, “In Nollywood we don’t count the walls. We learn how to climb them.”
