5 Nollywood Films to Stream on YouTube
YouTube is no longer limited to music videos, skits and short clips. Nollywood filmmakers have increasingly used the platform to release full-length movies, giving viewers another way to find recent Nigerian films without moving between different streaming services.
For anyone looking for something to watch, the options range from family drama and straight drama to comedy. Here are five Nollywood films currently available through the YouTube channels associated with their releases.
Alechenu – Family Drama (Biodun Stephen TV)
“Alechenu” is a family drama directed by Biodun Stephen and available on “Biodun Stephen TV” on YouTube. The film stars Royal Aziomaku in the title role, alongside Bimbo Ademoye, Mike Ezuruonye, Femi Adebayo and Blessing Jessica Obasi-Nze. Following its cinema release in July, the movie is now available for viewers who want to watch it on YouTube.
The film follows 13-year-old Alechenu, an autistic boy who leaves his home in Oyo and travels to Lagos in search of the mother he has never met. Armed with only a photograph and his birth certificate, he sets out to find her, but the search takes him into a family carrying secrets of its own. What begins as a young boy’s attempt to find his mother gradually becomes a journey into questions about his identity, his family and where he truly belongs.
Beauty of Us – Drama (NollyFamily TV)
