    Renowned Ghanaian filmmaker, Samuel Darko, popularly known as SamDakus, has sparked a fresh wave of debate within the creative space after boldly declaring that Ghana does not have a movie industry, only scattered associations masquerading as one.

    In an interview aired on June 14, 2025, on SeanCity TV, hosted by celebrated media personality Ruthy Mummy DeNelson, SamDakus did not mince words as he delivered a blunt and unfiltered assessment of the Ghanaian film space.

    “There’s no movie industry in Ghana. What we have here are just mere associations. Nothing is structured, nothing is regulated,” he stressed.

    According to SamDakus, the so-called industry lacks a central, authoritative body that oversees, coordinates, and regulates operations across the entire film value chain, from production to distribution and exhibition.

    He pointed out that groups like the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) and the Actors Guild are simply fragmented bodies operating in silos, with no overarching system or policy direction.

    “An industry is built on structure, governance, funding systems, and standards. But in Ghana, all we see are informal groups with no unifying vision,” he added.

    SamDakus’s hard-hitting comments come at a time when conversations about reviving and redefining the Ghanaian film ecosystem are gaining momentum.

    His critique is seen by many as a wake-up call for stakeholders to move beyond association politics and push for a national film policy that can institutionalise and formalise the sector.

    His statement has since sparked widespread discussion on social media and within film circles, with creatives, critics, and fans weighing in on whether Ghana indeed has an industry or just a loose network of individuals trying to make a living through film.

    SamDakus has touched a nerve and perhaps opened a much-needed conversation on what it truly means to have a film industry in Ghana.
