Amaka's Kin - The Women Of Nollywood, a documentary by Tope Oshin


Dedicated to the memory of Nollywood Amazon Filmmaker Amaka Igwe (1963-2014), Amaka's Kin chronicles the journey and challenges of the very few female Directors working in the Nigerian motion picture industry popularly known as Nollywood.

In a terrain otherwise tagged as "for men", Amaka's Kin seeks to examines the careers of the very few female directors practicing in the very male dominated Nigerian film industry, widely known as Nollywood; their journey and pain, their joys and the challenges and hurdles they had to jump to become directors of film, and by extension celebrates the success of the career of the most prominent female director of film, the late Amaka Igwe, who was pivotal to the growth and development of Nollywood and indeed an inspiration to The Women of Nollywood.

Amaka’s Kin – The Women of Nollywood features Nollywood's leading women directors: Mildred Okwo, Omoni Oboli, Lowla Dee, Blessing Effiom Egbe, Ema Edosio, Adeola Osunkojo, Stephanie Okereke, Michelle Bello, Jadesola Osiberu, Patience Oghre Imobhio, Belinda Yanga-Agedah, Tope Oshin

INDIGO TONGUES Interview Series
(Iyalode Productions)

It is very important to me as an African to reach out to other Africans and support their work.

Indigo Tongues is an interview series produced by Iyàlódè (e-yah-low-day) Productions founded by Mojisola Sonoiki in 2005. Following is a selection from the interview series. Visit the Iyalode Productions website for the entire series at https://iyalodeproductions.com/
