African movies in cinemas
Creative African movies do travel far and through the world’s biggest film festivals. However, some of them are popular in their home countries but deserve a global audience.
If these African movies never get to a nearby cinema, then consider stopping by a local store to ask for them. It is a good idea to have them on wish-list and hope to find them any other ways. No one is allowed to say they are a fan of African movies without having seen these movies.

‘Elevator Baby’
A pregnant woman and a turbulent man just want to get out of an elevator that is stuck halfway. They both have to help a baby come to live safely, they just didn’t know that yet. Now, they may have to deal with each others toxicity and folly to achieve that.
‘The Millions’
A brilliant con man recruits three crooks to work with him on a money heist that will either go bad or good. However, each of them has different wishes for when they eventually find the money.
‘Vaya’
Rather than stay home in rural neighbourhoods of South Africa, young and naive men prefer to get out to look for greener pastures in Johanessburg. ‘Vaya’ is a collection of related stories from poor South African men. Just like most people, they hate the hardship they were born in.
‘Gold Statue’
A family heritage does not always confer cash to the next generation. Sometimes it could include properties. In ‘Gold Statue’ the nature of the property to inherit was a deity which is a common occurrence in the African space.
‘My London Slave’
Any women can be a victim of modern-day slavery no matter the race. However, ‘My London Slave’ tackles the slur that African women travelling outside the continent to work hard are sex slaves.
‘Tess’
A personal fight ensues within a young woman Tess who never sees herself on a downhill match for any reason. She is full of life and trades her body for material things in the city of Cape Town. Painkillers and stupid humour are survival weapons for her until she becomes pregnant.
‘Braids on a Bald Hair’
A hairdresser connects with a female client emotionally. She feels something she never does in her marriage. However, she isn’t going to focus on finding love outside her marriage. The experience steers her into confronting issues that leave her marriage unemotional.
‘Oloibiri’
Nigeria’s first oil discovery in 1956 was a village ‘Oloibiri’. This movie takes after the story of the discovery and how the lives of the residents changed for better and worse.
