2. IMAGES: NOLLYWOOD by Pieter Hugo


Behind Hollywood and Bollywood, Africa's film Industry, Nollywood, is said to be the 3rd largest film industry in the world.  Movies are produced and marketed in the space of a week. 


"They  tell stories that appeal to and reflect the lives of its public: stars are local actors; plots confront the viewer with familiar situations of romance, comedy, witchcraft, bribery, prostitution. The narrative is overdramatic, deprived of happy endings, tragic. The aesthetic is loud, violent, excessive; nothing is said, everything is shouted." - Petier Hugo


Brilliant photographer Pieter Hugo has tried to capture the essence of this industry through his mind blowing series. To have these images with you always, go here.
