Charlotte, NC Author Publishes Film Study

Nollywood Movie Reviews, a new book by Ali S. Baylay, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Nollywood Movie Reviews is a literary commentary on films made in the English-speaking enclave of West Africa. Besides general adult readerships, it's a project geared toward educating primary and secondary school students about the new and burgeoning film industry in the region. Most recently schools in this region have added study of film to their curriculum, hence the importance of this publication. Included in this production are several interviews with Nollywood and Ghallyood actors and actresses, directors, and producers who sat for us.
