Bride and joy of Nollywood hints at healthy future

LAGOS - Nigerian film The Wedding Party has shown the country's cinema at the top of its game, with its success at the box office taking it to new audiences across Africa and the world.

The country may well be in recession but Nollywood, which churns out some 2,000 films a year and is the world's second-biggest film industry outside India, has never been healthier.

The Wedding Party is a madcap comedy that tells the story of the marriage of Dunny and Dozie against the backdrop of their families' rivalry.
