Critically-acclaimed African films you must watch this week

The Wedding Party

Produced in 2016, The Wedding Party highlights the lavish wedding day turned into a nightmare for the groom and bride, no thanks to the uninvited guests and parental drama.

The film became Nigeria’s first film to cross the 1million Naira mark, making it the highest grossing Nigerian film ever, at 3.5 billion nairas.  It even became one of the African films on Netflix’s roster.

The success of the film led to the production of The Wedding Party 2 a year after the release of the prequel.  The film not only did well in Nigeria, it also opened in 17 other African countries and in the UK.
