Actor Calls for Collective Action to Revive Ghana’s Movie Industry

Mikki Osei Berko

Ghana’s movie industry, once a vibrant hub of creativity and storytelling, has faced significant challenges over the past two decades.

With the rise of digital streaming platforms and the increasing competition from international films, the local film sector has struggled to maintain its identity and relevance.

Veteran actor and media personality, Mikki Osei Berko, has urged stakeholders in Ghana’s movie industry to take urgent steps toward reviving the struggling movie sector.

The celebrated actor emphasized the need for industry players to advocate for policies that will drive growth and sustainability.

“Let’s talk about the opportunities we need for our stakeholders to pay attention to them. Those of us who are already in it should also contribute to policy discussions, raise awareness, and push— even by force—because that’s the only way we can survive.” 

Mikki Osei Berko

Ghana’s movie industry, often called “Ghallywood,” gained prominence in the early 2000s by producing captivating dramas and comedies that resonated with local audiences.

However, the industry has since declined due to various factors, including inadequate funding, lack of infrastructure, and competition from foreign films.

According to a report by the National Film Authority, the industry has witnessed a significant drop in production quality and audience engagement, resulting in a loss of cultural representation and economic potential.

Mikki Osei Berko also highlighted a disturbing trend where many veteran actors have spent their later years in poverty or poor health due to a lack of financial support.

“From the acting background, most of our predecessors ended up in poverty until their death and under unpleasant conditions. Looking at the entertainment they gave the nation, their lives shouldn’t have ended that way.” 

Mikki Osei Berko

Miki Osei Berko’s remarks come at a time when Ghana’s movie industry is grappling with challenges, including low production rates, poor financing, and declining audience interest.

Many industry players have echoed similar concerns, calling for government intervention and stronger leadership within the creative sector.

The government plays a crucial role in revitalizing the movie industry. Policymakers must prioritize the establishment of a robust film policy that supports local filmmakers through funding, tax incentives, and grants.

By creating a favorable environment for film production, the government encourages investment and attracts both local and international partnerships.

Additionally, establishing film schools and training programs would nurture new talent, ensuring a continuous pipeline of skilled professionals who elevate the industry’s standards.

For the revival of Ghana’s movie industry to be successful, collaboration among stakeholders is essential. Filmmakers, producers, and writers must unite to share resources, knowledge, and expertise.

Collaborative projects lead to innovative storytelling that reflects Ghana’s diverse culture and heritage.

Furthermore, partnerships with international film organizations provide access to global markets and distribution channels, expanding the reach of Ghanaian films.

The ‘Taxi Driver’ star urged his colleagues to take responsibility for creating value within the industry and to demand attention from policymakers.

“This is due to the lack of value in our movie industry, and we are the ones to build that value. If we sit back and wait for policymakers, they won’t be as bothered as we are.” 

Mikki Osei Berko

He further called for structured welfare systems for actors, including pension schemes and social benefits, which are currently absent in Ghana’s movie industry.

By prioritizing local narratives, Ghana’s movie industry fosters a sense of pride and ownership among audiences, encouraging them to support homegrown films.

Moreover, leveraging technology to enhance production quality and distribution helps attract a broader viewership, both locally and internationally.

Utilizing social media platforms for promotions, hosting film festivals, and organizing community screenings create buzz around local films.

Furthermore, engaging audiences in the filmmaking process through workshops and interactive sessions fosters a deeper connection and appreciation for Ghanaian cinema.

Reviving Ghana’s movie industry is not merely the responsibility of individual filmmakers or the government; it is a collective endeavor that requires the commitment and collaboration of all stakeholders involved.

By investing in talent, promoting local content, and engaging audiences, Ghana restores its film industry to its former glory while also ensuring its sustainability in an increasingly competitive global landscape. The time for action is now.
