Ghanaian filmmaker, Leila Djansi made some comments many have regarded as derogatory about the Nigerian movie industry in a recent interview.
She was quoted as comparing Nollywood to the late German dictator, Adolf Hitler. She said:
“I don’t think those people, this new crop of film industry people be put under the umbrella of Nollywood, they should be called independent film because a name carries a lot. If you start tagging it Nollywood, every negative connotation that comes with Nollywood…it’s like calling your son Hitler.”
And now, her Nigerian counterpart, Stella Damasus has released a video via Youtube, telling the Ghanaian to ‘get her facts right’ before making such comments.
