The Champion Sportsman

is a Nollywood movie realized

in a very special and unusual Nigerian-German co-production. It is a unique initiative of the Nigerian writer, producer and film director Azubuike Erinugha and

the German artists network InterArte and will be realised

in some parts in cooperation

with the Braunschweig University of Art. It will be shot-mainly in Berlin, only partly in Enugu and Lagos.

The aim of the project is to approach and reflect the complexities of migration in a way, which confronts clichés and offers divergent perspectives on the issue. The focus is split, on high-pitched African expectations of a life in Europe and on the humiliating European politics against African migrants as well.
