“I believe there are a lot of potentials here within the local movie industry, Ghana’s movie industry and some of the neighboring African countries doing movies. Unfortunately, the movies only stay within the African continent or stay in the households of Africans. It does not really cross over,” she said in an encounter with and a section of the local media.
