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.
It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
