The increasing popularity of West-African video films, particularly from Ghana and Nigeria, has transformed them into a significant component of contemporary African popular culture since the 1990s. These films have gained such prominence that they frequently overshadow Hollywood productions, reflecting a shift in cultural consumption and identity within the region. This seminar paper explores the implications of this trend within the context of religion and media in selected West-African countries.
