Cameroon’s Netflix boost big win for English-speaking minority

Number of Cameroonian films available on global streaming platform set to rise to four in coming days.

Yaounde, Cameroon – This month marks another milestone for Cameroon’s growing film industry, with two more movies set to premiere on Netflix. A Man for the Weekend, a romantic comedy about a career-driven woman asking a colleague to pose as her boyfriend for a family reunion, is set to begin showing on the global platform on June 16. It will be followed by Broken, the story of a woman running away from marriage while putting her father’s company and her reputation on the line, on June 22. The acquisitions bring to four the number of Cameroonian films on the United States-based streaming giant, after Therapy and The Fisherman’s Diary became available earlier this year.
