The Nuances of Igbo Narrative Drama in Nollywood
There should be film studies on
the nuances of Igbo Narrative Drama in Nollywood. Because the studies are important, relevant and significant in Nigerian Cinema, contemporary art of Igbo culture and history and African studies for both academic scholarship and public knowledge.
There is a study on "THE NUANCED FEMINISM IN GENEVIEVE NNAJI'S LIONHEART" by Uche Omar.

I have viewed the trailer of a new Nigerian drama in Igbo language with some dialogue in English sent to me from the UK.
From the intriguing and thrilling scenarios, I can tell that this would be one of the must see movies of the year in Nigeria.

I can see the genius of the director in the clips in the trailer.
The casting, acting by the accomplished actors, including the current most popular Nollywood actor at the cinemas in West Africa; the cinematography; sound; costume and makeup are impressive in the storytelling in motion picture comparable to the best dramas by accomplished filmmakers in the world.
I have been calling for Nigerian drama as good as the best Korean drama, English drama, American drama and Indian drama.
This Igbo drama most likely would be what I can call, "This is it!"
I have deliberately decided not to mention the names of the principal actors. The hint of the current most popular Nollywood actor in West Africa is enough for anyone who truly knows this outstanding actor of international repute.
This should be the best Igbo drama since Genevieve Nnaji's "Lionheart" released in 2018.
This one will attract more people in Nigeria and other countries, because crime thrillers pull more crowds to the cinemas and attract more viewers on TV and streaming channels, especially psychological drama with romance and intriguing characters.
The trailer is not yet available for public viewing.
