During the open forum session, Martha Ankomah pleaded with the National Film Authority to assist in getting Ghanaian films on Netflix and Amazon; “When you go on Amazon and Netflix, there are Nigerian movies…But for us in Ghana, it’s difficult to get our movies there. I don’t know how they do it, but it would be great if the NFA could help us get our films on those platforms.” She said.
