Have there been published studies of how the Nigerian film industry has tackled terrorism/Boko Haram over the years?
The Milkmaid is Nigeria's entry this year for Best International Feature at the Oscars (and Nigeria's first successful attempt after the Academy disqualified Genevieve Nnaji's Lionheart for "having too much English dialogue"). It follows a young Nigerian woman's journey in the aftermath of being captured by Boko Haram-style insurgents. The story is well done and the cinematography is outstanding. I realized that it's the first Nigerian film I've seen that takes on this issue but there are probably others that I've missed.
