Total War (2007 Video)
8/10
Refugees from Liberia
11 January 2008
I saw this movie on a transatlantic flight and found it really interesting. It made me even more curious about Nigerian movies. The film is shot in English, and the story line is easy to follow, even for audiences not familiar with West African countries. Since Nigerian movies are presently not shown legally in Britain itself, this was a unique opportunity for an introduction into the world of Nollywood.

Virgin Atlantic Entertainment Guide gave this plot summary: 'Pastor Henry, a Liberian who came to Nigeria as a refugee, falls in love with another Liberian lawyer who resides in Nigeria, days to their wedding, his past comes back to haunt him.'

Stilles Land (1992)
10/10
What it was like when the Wall came down.
19 July 2000
In a provincial town in East Germany, the theater is preparing for the big performance. Meanwhile in Berlin and elsewhere in the country, dramatical political changes are taking place. What did it feel like to ordinary East Germans when their life was turned upside down during the fateful autumn of 1989? This film will give you an impression of that time free from the hugs-and-champagne cliche reiterated in the media.
