Nigeria
Afua Hirsch explores the energy and ambition of Nigerian fashion, film and music, asking what drives young Nigerians to succeed in everything from Afrobeats to Nollywood.
In Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy and home to over a sixth of the continent’s inhabitants, Afua Hirsch explores the energy and ambition of a country at the epicentre of African music, fashion and film.
In her search for what she calls Nigeria’s ‘secret sauce’ - the drive of Nigerians to be the best at everything they do - she explores the impact of adversity, competition and education with cutting-edge contemporary artists, including Afrobeats legend Made Kuti, rapper Falz the Bahd Guy, sculptor Yinka Shonibare and Nollywood star Jemima Osunde.
