History:
Since the late 1980s a booming video feature film industry evolved in
Ghana. While established
film makers both within and
outside the state-owned Ghana Film
Industry Corporation (GFIC) found it extremely difficult to generate
funds for film production, formally untrained people of various backgrounds
— from cinema projectionists to car mechanics — took ordinary
VHS video cameras, wrote a brief outline, assembled actors (from TV or
just “from the street”), and produced full fledged feature
films which appeared to be tremendously successful in urban Ghana, and
especially in Accra.
Established professional film makers initially met the initiatives of
non-professionals and their use of the medium of video with suspicion.
Yet when they noticed the extraordinary success which these productions
had in Ghana and realized that screening these films in local cinemas
could generate sufficient funds to sustain a viable video film industry,
they also turned to film production in the video format. Moreover, in
order to improve the productions made by untrained — and, gradually,
self-trained film makers, the GFIC offered editing services and other
forms of advice to film makers in exchange for the right to show the film
in its own cinemas in Accra first. Gradually, production networks and
systems of distribution evolved and since the beginning of the 1990s,
each year saw the relase of about fifty video movies made by private and
GFIC producers.
The Ghana Film Industry Corporation (GFIC) was sold under the divestiture
implementation programme.
Some famous actors inclue VanVicker, Kofi Ajorlolo, Emmanuel Armah, Nadia
Buari and Jackie Aygemang (nee Appiah). See a list

This movie would have been great if it was original, but it is a copy of a nigerian movie called "Wounded Soul" with a few different scenes done by the same director. And of course we cannot forget the parallels between this movie and "Beyonce" also by the same director, if the Ghana movie industry is to survive there has to be some originality!!!
