What does NBCUniversal know about the African Market?

The other day, I was in a class with someone who mentioned that while film & TV in the U.S. had taken a major hit during COVID, he found lots of work still in Nigeria (a.k.a. Nollywood). Then I see this article and think - is there an international market that is about to be tapped? What does the African Market tend to respond to? Comedy? Action? SciFi?

Karen "Kay" Ross I shared an article about the African Streaming market awhile back. There’s lots of investment from the big 5, or is it 6, for home produced material. I saw many Crime and Action projects, but not so much sci-fi.
