    • Synopsis
    • Buddy Munro is a fascinating character. Ever since he experienced an unimaginable personal tragedy, he’s had an insatiable desire to push the boundaries of what is possible. After struggling for 23 years trying to break into the UK's entertainment industry, with just enough money to stay in Nigeria for 10 days, he packs a small bag and heads off to Lagos to chase his dreams of being on the silver screen.

      Buddy’s plan was to fly to Lagos and meet with famous Nollywood actors, producers and casting agents to try and land a movie role. What actually happened went beyond anyone’s expectations.

      Buddy appeared on four TV programs in ten days, two of them were live shows and one had an audience of over one hundred million. He was interviewed for radio, newspapers and invited to every celebrity bash in town. He persuaded one of the biggest emerging directors in Nollywood to write a script for Buddy to star in, which they shot overnight, edited in one day and got it shown at the Abuja film festival, the biggest of its kind in Africa.

      Buddy’s success got so out of hand that he decided to miss his flight and stay in Lagos.
