The Hausa film industry tagged "Kannywood" struggles largely in obscurity within Nigeria, not to mention outside the country, for several reasons. These include a constant conflict between the filmmakers and a hegemonic religious establishment, lack of professionals in the industry, academics' indifference towards their films, among other complexities. A few, mostly foreign, academics have written about these issues. Today, no one has yet authored any book for the general readers. Nobody cares to review their films, etc. The idea to come up with this book, which is a compendium of some of my write-ups that were mostly published in newspapers, blogs and as Facebook status updates, was a response to some of these challenges and much more.
