Lydia Forson schools ignorant critics of Ghanaian movies

Actress, Lydia Forson has schooled critics of movies produced in Ghana by Ghanaian producers, actors and actresses.

Last year, Gabby Otchere Darko who is one of the governing New Patriotic Party stalwarts criticized movies produced in Ghana describing them with unprintable words.

He received a backlash from people in the movie industry for speaking ill on an industry where they have to do everything on their own.


But in a related story, actress Lydia Forson has lashed out at Ghanaians who criticize the poor movie industry.


To her, they should be given a break because there is no investment in the industry and therefore they work very hard to ensure that movies are produced in the country.


She noted that if Ghanaians were willing to invest in the industry, they would be able to produce better movies so they (Ghanaians) need to appreciate the good work they do.

Dear @GabbyDarko,

Keteke has been selected as the opening film at FESPACO, the BIGGEST film festival in Africa( 50yrs) and the first since Kwaw Ansah’s Heritage Africa in 1997.

And it’s the French Embassey sponsoring a crew to go represent us on such a significant day. pic.twitter.com/HsBCIiLITt
