After a record two nominations, Chude Jideonwo’s film ‘Is it your money?’ wins Best Documentary prize at BON
‘Is it your money?’, the docu-series has been announced the winner of the ‘Best Documentary’ prize at the prestigious Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards. It is directed by award-winning filmmaker and host of the viral #WithChude talk show, Chude Jideonwo – and tells the story of high-level corruption in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
Jideonwo had two films nominated in this category, a record at the BON Awards. ‘Is it your money?’ other film ‘Where is Chijioke?’ was nominated alongside Kayode Kasum’s ‘Senegal: A Legend is Born’ and Jide Oyegbile’s ‘Nightlife in Lasgidi’.
“It’s humbling that I was not even thinking about being a film director just two years ago,” Jideonwo said. “And yet since then, films we have made have been honoured and selected by the AMVCAs, Afriff, festivals across Africa, Europe and North America, and now BON – with two films. I am thankful.”
The docu-series is set for streaming release in 2025.
It is produced by the studio, Chude Jideonwo Presents – dedicated to factual series and films from Africa.
