The Burial Of Kojo -In what is a visually stunning debut, director Ghanaian American director Blitz the Ambassador takes viewers on a magical journey. Made in Ghana this is anything but your typical Ghanaian movie. This independent movie belongs to the ranks of Hollywood. This is a awe inspiring film, one that starts when a man vengefully traps his brother in a mine and his daughter sets out to save him. Playing lead is Joseph Otsiman, Cynthia Dankwa plays the young girl and Ama K. Abebrese plays her adult self. Co produced by Ama K. Abebrese and Blitz the Ambassador, this is a film that will delight each viewer. It is so cinematic, drawing you into the story whilst all the while seducing your senses. Each scene has been deliberated on. So much so that it is fantastical, drawing to mind the likes of Tim Burton who brings magic to life in his films. Premiering in major cities from Accra, London to Brazil, the film was recently picked up by Ava DuVernay of Hollywood’s Array Now company for Netflix. The film will be available on Netflix from 31st March. This film is outstanding and is one to watch.
