News of the Bizarre: Church Taking Nigerian Film Industry By Storm

Filed under: On Movies & MediaNigeria

Thanks to Peter T. Chattaway for linking to this rather surprising development in... uh... "Nollywood."

Mark Steyn mentioned a few months ago that Nigeria "now has the third biggest film industry in the world, after Hollywood and Bollywood." What he didn't mention -- but I guess it was inevitable -- is that the Nigerian film industry now goes by the name "Nollywood". And now, the Associated Press reports that one church has been taking the industry by storm.
