Ghanaian actor Kofi Adu popularly known as Agya Koo has given his thoughts about the Ghana movie industry. He acknowledged that the movie industry is not dead as many are speculating but rather facing a lot of new challenges. He humorously stated that the movie industry need Plaster of Paris (POP).<\/p>\n
He said that telenovelas are not to blame for the failings of the movie industry. He said that telenovelas have always existed in the past yet they could not match the local movies he was featured in.\u00a0He urged movie producers to try as much as possible to revive the industry by going back to the days when Ghanaian movies were exciting and something worth writing home about.<\/p>\n
However, what Agya Koo fails to remember is that in the past, the telenovelas did not have Twi translations. Therefore even though people were watching; it did not have this mass appeal. Granted telenovelas have always been in this country; however, it seems like almost every television station in Ghana shows telenovelas.<\/p>\n
It is true the movie industry needs help but at this point it is going to be an uphill battle to get viewers to shift their focus to Ghanaian content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
