Black November- A World Class Nigerian Movie? by danies1941(m): 8:54pm On Jun 05, 2015 |
Who has has watched Black November? Its a movie by Jeta Amata with A List Hollywood actors like Mickey Rourke (“Dexter”), Kim Basinger (L.A. Confidential)-also has Sarah Wayne Callies from the Walking Dead, Akon, Wyclef Jean and Vivica A. Fox (Kill Bill) amongst others. By Hollywood-it looks like a low budget B movie-but by this is really amazing by Nollywood standards-world class infact. Never heard of the movie till now. Just saw the trailer-hope to watch it! A Youtube synopsis reads: A volatile, oil-rich Nigerian community wages war against their corrupt government and a multi-national oil corporation to protect their land from being destroyed by excessive drilling and spills. To seek justice, a rebel organization kidnaps an American oil executive and demands that his corporation end the destruction and pollution. Inspired by true events, Black November is the gripping story of how a community rises up and takes drastic measures to make sure their voices are heard. These are kinds of movies-Nollywood can make that can be shown to a broad audience in the USA. Most Nollywood movies shown in the USA are just in selected halls for a Nigerian/African audience. A movie like this shown to a broad audience can bring in up to $10 million in just a month. And by suggesting America-its not that I am a victim of colonial mentality. Far from it. Its about the purchasing power of the average American and the advancement of the film industry there. Imagine a movie producer grossing 2 Billion with one movie in just one year and this not including dvds, cable etc. The main actor of such a movie can expect to be paid N20 million to N50 million + and even waka pass actors can hope to collect 50k. Our 'stars' will no longer have to be begging politicians! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1REsLe7gzHU |

Its about the neglect and corruption going in the Niger-delta region were oil companies connive with federal/state and even some corrupt village heads to maim, sabotage, neglect and abandons the region to rot nd wallow in abject poverty n environmental pollution despite the millions the make from the region through oil exploration. A very nice and interesting movie to watch...... |
