Ghanaian
movie enthusiasts can heave a sigh relief as they can now watch Ghanaian
filmmaker of international repute, Leila Djansi’s award-winning film, ‘Ties
That Bind’, in the comfort of their homes.
Earlier
reports that distributors in
Ghana had hijacked the film’s release caused some
kind of panic in the movie industry.
But
latest reports from confirmed sources said the film would be on the movie
market very soon.
The
Distributors Guild of Ghana has reportedly rescinded its directive to its
members not to distribute the film after a recent disagreement between the
group and the ‘Ties That Bind’ director.
The
guild reportedly stopped its member, Abdul Salam, producer and CEO of Venus
Film, who is about to distribute Leila Djansi’s ‘Ties That Bind’, from
releasing the film.
This
was because the leadership of the guild was not happy about a comment made by
Leila about working with one of its members and her opinion about distribution
in Ghana. It hence wanted Leila to apologize to them. Leila was a bit hesitant
to apologize because she saw nothing wrong with her comment which she posted on
social media Facebook and finally landed in mainstream media.
Nevertheless,
she went ahead to send an apology to the group but even after that, the
distributors still did not soften their stance.
This
caused Leila to issue a threat on Peace FM’s ‘Entertainment Review’ last week that
she was going to court to seek redress if the group would not allow Abdul Salam
to release the film.
Less
than a week after her threat, the group rescinded its decision.
