How it works

How ABEGWATCH Works

A simple way to watch, support and distribute African stories.

For Viewers

Discover great African films, rent, watch and support the people who make them.

1

Discover a film

Browse and find films you love on ABEGWATCH.
2

Rent and pay

Pay the listed price from your ABEGWATCH wallet. If your balance is short, Paystack tops up only the gap, then the rental completes. Coming soon titles let you reserve a ticket before release day. Some films ask for a quick identity check first.
3

Watch on your screen

Start watching instantly. Your viewing window lasts for the film duration plus one hour. One screen only. A sponsor ticket you redeem works the same way.
4

Show your support

After renting, visit the film’s credits and send a gift to any cast or crew member. A short wallet balance can top up through Paystack before the gift sends.

Get your film on ABEGWATCH, reach audiences, earn from rentals and receive support from viewers.
