One of the pioneers of the Ghana Movie Industry, Hammond Mensah of H. M. Films is ready to premiere and release to the general public it’s latest action packed thriller movie with the title ‘Who Own Da City’.
Watching the movie with fellow entertainment journalists with an eagle eye, it was clear why Mr. Hammond Mensah had invested so much in the movie, it was because he needed to make an impact after several years of being on the quiet.
Also, I believe it was a call to his other producers that, indeed movies such as ‘Who Owns Da City’ can be produced down here in Ghana.
If Ghanaians have been calling for Ghana movie makers to move away from their normal mediocre way of doing movies and think outside the box and produce different movies then surely this movie will not go unnoticed and will make the needed impact.
It has always been sad watching a Ghanaian movie only to realize that the actual story was copied from an Indian movie. Plagiarism has found its sad face into the budding Ghana Movie Industry. With creativity at its peak, there are lots of stories in Ghana that can be tackled and good movies churned out from.
The ‘copy-this-copy-that syndrome must be stopped. Stories can harness from what goes on in the country. Love is not the only subject to make movies on.
For instance, Ghana was the hub for various drugs, especially cocaine and heroine some years ago. Security officials who had interest in the drug dealings renegade on their promise to protect the constitution of the land by rather collaborating and protection the interest of the drug peddlers.

‘Who Owns Da City’ is story of greed, lust, betrayal and murder. Nail biting, fist clinging, filled with nerve racking suspense. The drug trade has just gotten out of hand. Bribery at the highest level, corruption nibbles at the very hem of the city’s survival.
Who has what it takes to put an end to the creeping injustice that threatens to push the city into total chaos.
‘Who Owns Da City’ stars veterans George Williams, David Dontoh and Fred Amugi. It featured established actors like Kofi Adjorlolo, Ekow Smith Asante, Martha Ankomah, Nadia Buari, Omar De 1st, introducing Charles Bruce Tagoe and Samir Kodar Agha.
The direction of the movie was trusted in the hands of the experienced Nigerian director Ifeanyi Inyeabor and he didn’t disappoint.
‘Who Owns Da City’ is an eye opener to other movie makers that it pays to invest productions. It premieres at the SILVER BIRD CINEMA on 25th February, 2011.
