Religious Nigerian movies have been around for a long time and have a good number of both Christian and non-Christian audience. There are people who will consume only these movies when it comes to entertainment, but Nollywood hardly makes them. However, they have in their library a few movies that teach morality. Also, one Nigerian movie production company Mount Zion Films TV is dedicated to making religious-themed movies.
What Defines a Religious Nollywood Movie?
Most movies coming from Nollywood can be branded secular, but still, have some religious messages. In a typical Nollywood movie, there are usually characters that fight for justice, those that will never kill, those that avoid a life of sexual immorality, and those that love to fight for others.
However, secular movies also usually contain nudity, violent scenes, and bad language. So for some people, it is good to have the option of watching movies that are more aligned to their values, such as the ones produced by Mount Zion Film TV.
Nigerian Christian Movies That You Can Enjoy For Easter
Mount Zion Films TV do not write directly from the Bible, but they use Bible quotations and make references to the Bible. The movies contain Christian elements, which include mercy, faith, and redemption. They are all key components of the Christian faith. Mount Zion Film TV has some free online movies, otherwise, you have to be a registered member to watch most of their best titles. For those who love good movies with a religious basis, some of those that are available for streaming free include:
- Costly Sacrifice
- Tight Rope
- Storms of Life
- Silent Killer
- Secrets of the Moment
The best part of these movies is that every member of the family can watch them together this Easter. This might not be possible in the cinemas, but who doesn’t enjoy watching Nigerian christian movies at home with family?
