Nollywood films with LGBTQ+ characters? This one go cause serious drama
5 months ago
So I just stumbled on this list of 7 Nollywood films with LGBTQ+ characters and I swear my phone nearly catch fire. One of them is called "Ìfé" — na Nollywood's first full-length lesbian romance film, produced by Pamela Adie, starring Uzoamaka Aniunoh and Cindy Amadi. Another one, "Hell or High Water" directed by Oluseyi Asurf Amuwa, follows a pastor wey dey struggle with his faith and love for another man.
The twist? One film actually set during Goodluck Jonathan's time when the law against same-sex marriage was signed, directed by Habeeb Lawal. And there's "Walking In Shadows" based on Jude Dibia's novel, directed by Aoife O'Kelly, about a man hiding his true identity his whole life. The cast includes Ozzy Agu, Ayoola Ayoola, and Funlola Aofiyebi.
Personally, I just dey wonder how Nollywood dey slowly push these stories when the law still dey there. Who among una don see any of these films? Which one get the strongest gist?
