Censored Film Queens of Nigeria Nigeria is home to one of the world's most prolific film industries. In the conservative northern city of Kano, Kannywood produces movies for more than 80 million Hausa speakers. But the region is governed by strict Sharia law, and actresses and filmmakers face intense censorship and moral scrutiny. On a rowdy set, reporter Anja Popp meets pioneering director Mansurah Isah, one of the industry's few female directors, as she battles a censorship board that can ban films and end careers. As they strive to reflect the challenges that Hausa women face in a male-dominated world, we observe Mansurah anguishing over a childbirth scene that risks being cut for showing too much of a woman's body. Popp follows her to a crucial censorship board screening that will decide her production's fate. Under Kannywood's religious restrictions, actresses can also fall foul of the censors and conservative family expectations. Popp meets actress Samha Inuwa who was suspended for a social media post deemed 'vulgar', forcing her to abandon acting and build a beauty business to survive. For rising star Amina Shehu, choosing to act has meant losing her family's support. In a society where women are expected to marry and stay at home, pursuing independence comes at a painful personal cost. Yet in southern Nigeria's booming Nollywood, women are box office powerhouses, although they too say success demands relentless resilience in a male-dominated culture.

It's the 1990s. Unicron (Colman Domingo) is a massive robot that eats planets. That's bad. He's served by the aptly-named Terrorcons, who are also bad. The Maximals are part animal, part robot - one looks like King Kong in armour, another has some feathers. They're helping Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) and the other Autobots to fight Unicron's forces. These are the good guys. And they've all come to the Earth. Obviously, we don't want Unicron devouring our planet. But who will win? There's only one way to find out... (sorry to plagiarise, Harry Hill). Two things are for sure. 1) There's going to be mayhem and destruction. 2) It might be difficult for Noah Diaz (Ramos) and Elena Wallace (Fishback) to do much about it, being puny humans and all.
