Hakeem Onilogbo – aka Hakeem Effect – used his passion for drawing and inspiration from a mysterious figure in his dreams to find fame and fortune in Nollywood. Karan Soni and Roshan Sethi's real-life love story inspired their film A Nice Indian Boy. The success of this Hollywood rom-com has healed many family rifts on the way. Diver Chris Lemons became tangled in a cord when he was at the bottom of the North Sea in Scotland. He managed to survive for around 35 minutes without any air. Now his experiences have inspired a feature film. This interview was first broadcast in 2021.
