The NPP flagbearer hopeful condemned local movies that feature sorrowful content and urged stakeholders in the entertainment industry to be steadfast in their pursuit to make quality production.

He made the remark when quizzed on what he would do to help uplift the creative arts industry if elected as president of the nation.
