The film sheds light on the often-ignored experiences of those who work tirelessly behind the scenes in Africa’s largest film industry.

One of the documentary’s most eye-opening testimonies comes from Charles Ogunkeye, a highly respected Director of Photography.

Charles shares a distressing personal account, recalling how he was abruptly forced out of his hotel room to make space for actress Keji Yussuf.

With no alternative arrangements made, he spent the night sleeping on the floor—a humiliating experience that reflects broader systemic issues within the industry.

His ordeal is not an isolated incident. *Rolling without Rights* captures a range of similar stories, revealing the emotional abuse, exploitation, and skewed power dynamics that crew members endure in silence.

From unpaid labour to unsafe working conditions, the documentary exposes the glaring lack of support and protection afforded to these essential contributors.

Unlike fictionalised portrayals of on-set glamour, this raw exposé brings forth the voices of those who have long been overlooked.

The documentary positions itself as a necessary intervention, demanding industry-wide conversations around crew welfare and fair treatment.

Premiering tomorrow exclusively on SeunOloketuyi TV and powered by Nollywood on Radio, *Rolling without Rights* promises to ignite dialogue and call for long-overdue change in Nigeria’s film sector.

This powerful documentary is more than a film—it’s a movement towards justice for the backbone of Nollywood’s storytelling engine.
