There is no doubt about the fact that the Akan movie industry, popularly known as Kumawood, has contributed a lot to the Ghanaian movie scene. However, as much as people enjoy Kumawood movies, for years, some have raised concerns about the kind of language used.
A lot of patrons have complained about the many insults that characterise their favourite movies which are a big turn off and actor, Jordan Adewealor, popularly known as Efo in movies, agrees which is why he is calling on producers to control the practice.
“Inasmuch as we want to entertain the fans, the insults do not help in any way. We have children watching our movies so we need to be very mindful of our choice of words. What are we teaching them if we use all the bad words,” he told Graphic Showbiz.
According to Jordan, filmmakers could still tell relevant stories without adding insults.
