This is a good piece of news for the Nigerian film industry. Bad Comments, the latest movie from popular actor, author, serial entrepreneur and executive producer, Jim Iyke, has been acquired by Amazon.

The unprecedented deal by Amazon would make the social impact-centered movie, which addresses the consequences of cyberbullying, the highest negotiation so far in the African movie industry. The film is also an official selection for the 17th edition of Harlem International Film Festival (The people’s film festival) slated for May 5-15, 2022. The Harlem Festival is an annual festival in Harlem, New York that celebrates films from around the world.

Although, Bad Comments was not nominated for AMVCA (Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards) due to an embargo on any film longer than two hours, this hasn’t stopped the movie from making waves both in Nigeria and beyond.
