THE LOCAL & FLY

There is very little time left before the AMAA Awards night. If you need to prepare for the event, you can start by watching the nominated African movies that are available on Netflix and Amazon Prime. If you do not already have a subscription on any streaming site, you could try to share a friends account. Netflix allows shared accounts as well as Showmax, but you need to check if the later has any of the nominated movies. There are also those that you might need to purchase directly from film kiosks.
