As Nollywood on Radio prepares to release its groundbreaking documentary, “Rolling Without Rights: The Struggles of Nollywood Crew”, one of the most striking accounts comes from Charles Ogunkeye, a respected Director of Photography in the Nigerian film industry.
In the documentary, Charles recounts how he was chased out of his hotel room so that actress Keji Yussuf could be accommodated, leaving him with no choice but to sleep on the floor throughout the night.
His story highlights a troubling pattern of neglect and mistreatment that many crew members silently endure on production sets.
Charles’s experience is one of several captured in the documentary — a powerful, real-life exposé that sheds light on the exploitation, emotional abuse, and power dynamics faced by those working behind the scenes in Nollywood.
“Rolling without Rights” is not fiction. It is a raw and honest documentation of lived experiences — told by the people who’ve carried the weight of productions without recognition or protection.
This is just a sneak peek of what is to come.
The full documentary premieres today exclusively on SeunOloketuyi TV, powered by Nollywood on Radio.
