Testimonials
„Accra Power succeeds in presenting a well-focused and balanced look at the dynamics of power in the city revealing nexuses that you would not have imagined. However, it is no way comprehensive. The film does not attempt to tell it all but rather highlight some perspectives that are muted. All the over major factors such as politics, economics and religions are silent in the background of the film, as the voices of the artists are amplified.“ Hakeem Adam (Dandano)
