Nollywood Movie: Tango With Me Trailer

The Most Anticipated Nigerian Movie "Tango With Me" has finally premiered in the UK cinema's. This is the fourth Nollywood film to get a mainstream in US and UK cinema's. The movie already won multiple awards. Tango with Me is a melodrama about the aftermath of a wedding-night rape – is the latest to reach beyond VHS and DVD-led distribution, opting for the kind of overseas theatrical release needed to help legitimise Nigerian cinema and maybe even bring in non-African audiences. The budget is high by African standards (80-100m naira – about £326,000); the film stars industry queens Genevieve Nnaji and Joke Silva as well as rising newcomer Joseph Benjamin; it has, in the eyes of director Mahmood Ali-Balogun , "the right production values" – the most salient problem for Nollywood, which likes to build them cheap and quick.

Everyone is buzzing about this movie and we admired its forthrightness about rape in Nigeria. Check the trailer below and tell us how you feel about the upcoming nollywood mainstream outburst!
