Award-winning director Frank Rajah Arase has stated that his upcoming movie, \u2018Somewhere In Africa\u2019, will be significant to all Africans.<\/p>\n

The movie, which will be premiered at the National Theatre in Accra on July 30 and recaptures the heinous stories of how some African regimes have been maltreating their citizenry, is a total deviation from the normal love-dominated movies that have been flocking the Ghanaian and African movie markets.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Beatwaves after the movie\u2019s 30-minutes premiere at the Silverbird Cinema last week Wednesday, the director and writer said, \u201cThe message and scenes from the movie were to bring people\u2019s (Africans\u2019) mind to the realization that this is not just a movie but something that is really happening in Accra. It is a wake-up call.<\/p>\n

The movie is not just to entertain but mirror you and see what is happening; let it reflect on you as [an] African.\u201d<\/p>\n

The movie tells the story of Yusuf Mumbasa (Majid Michel), who after escaping an assassination attempt by King of Kimbala, captured power via a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat and ordered the killing of all previous government appointees. The minority, including students, went on the streets to demonstrate, but Yusuf would have none of that.<\/p>\n

The movie stars the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of Ghana\u2019s movie industry, with Majid Michel playing a dual role as a journalist and military leader.<\/p>\n

The rest include actors David Dontoh, Kofi Adjorlolo, Amornabea Dodoo, Eddie Nartey, Roslyn Ngissah, Martha Ankomah and others.<\/p>\n

The story has a striking resemblance to Ghana\u2019s political history but Frank Rajah said he researched most African governments before coming up with the script.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe movie is intended to call Africans to return home and put themselves together and help build the United State of Africa that we all yearn for and leave peacefully as well as build a future for African children,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
