Ghanaian Movie lovers will have an experience of a lifetime as a Ben Owusu film dubbed ‘The Storm’ premieres at the Silverbird Cinemas this September.
The Movie, which is expected to put the spotlight on a city where justice lies in the hands of the corrupt, is set to be premiered in Accra on Saturday, September 21 at Silverbird Cinemas, and Kumasi on Sunday, September 22, 2024 at the Royal View Cinema inside SG Mall, Kumasi
The Storm features Ama K. Abebrese, Adjetey Anang, Fiifi Coleman, Samini, Salma Mumin, Edward Agyakum Kuffuor, Edinam Atatsi and Luckie Lawson among others.
In the movie, crime is getting out of control in a country in Africa and for this reason, some people are determined to fight back, explore the underworld in Accra, a city gulped by a story of murder, kidnapping, corruption and a fight for justice.
In ‘The Storm’ Accra is suffering devastatingly from the criminal activities of gangsters with on two, Detective Danso (Adjetey Anang) and Detective Lynn (Ama K. Abebrese) as the only two honest members of the law enforcement team.
Committed to trumpeting the ills of the society, Milly (Luckie Lawson) takes up a crucial social advocacy role to help the protection of youngsters against crime.
Unfortunately, the lives of these characters are dramatically affected by the brutal killing of a teenage boy, the kidnapping and murder of three young women, one of which was Milly’s niece.
Subsequently, the narrative switches as Danso and Milly take the centre stage and try hard to brazenly combat crime and corruption in their city.
Detective Danso is determined to find those responsible for the death of the teenager, assisted by sensible and methodical Detective Lynn and often coming into conflict with the Deputy Superintendent of Police, legendary actor, Edinam Atatsi.
Against this backdrop, Milly campaigns for the government to take action against criminals and becomes a celebrity, appearing on television and later rivaling the country’s President, Edward Agyekum Kufuor.
Will Milly survive on this critical life-changing journey as she meets President Edward Kufuor mano a mano in an enraged political atmosphere?
An essential question for patrons of the premiere to find an answer to in this thriller.
The Storm features Ama K. Abebrese, Adjetey Anang, Fiifi Coleman, Samini, Salma Mumin, Edward Agyakum Kuffuor, Edinam Atatsi and Luckie Lawson among others.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
