This is a rare opportunity to see the first Nollywood film ever made, which with its sequel gave birth to the Nigerian video film industry that has grown in 22 years into the second largest film industry in the world. Living in Bondage tells the story of Andy, a Lagos businessman who joins a secret cult to help him achieve greater financial success. When the cult demands the blood sacrifice of his young wife, Andy makes decisions that come back to haunt him.
