Award-winning American-based Ghanaian movie producer, Leila Jewel Djansi has launched a scathing critique on the Ghana movie industry, citing unprofessionalism by some industry players.
In a post on her Facebook wall on March 2, 2025, the experienced filmmaker described the Ghanaian movie industry as a "mirthless joke", referencing some unpleasant experiences she witnessed while working in Ghana.
Leila urged industry players to take criticisms in good faith to help grow the industry rather than countering these criticisms with knee-jerk reactions. "Stop enduring mediocrity, please.
Instead of these knee-jerk reactions, instead of acting like people just want to hate, forget the who and the how and actually listen. "Sit with the criticism.
