A movie about the effects of illegal mining on the environment will be premiered by Akabenezer (Galamsey)

The well-known comedy actor from Ghana, Akabenezer, is about to release a film called Galamsey that will highlight the damaging impacts of illicit mining. The actor, who is well-known for his humorous roles, made this revelation on The Bonah Show. He said that the movie will deal with the serious environmental issue that galamsey is causing in Ghana. Given the growing public uproar against illegal mining, which has negatively harmed the nation's water bodies and forest reserves, this future initiative is highly anticipated. Rivers that were formerly essential supplies of drinking water have been contaminated by galamsey operations, making them unsuitable for human consumption. Many towns and groups have expressed their opposition to the activity as a result of the environmental damage that has prompted such broad concern.

In an effort to pressure the government into enacting a statewide ban on illicit mining, the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and the Technical University Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG) recently went on strike. Furthermore, Catholic churches in Accra joined the battle on October 11 by demonstrating against galamsey, underscoring the public's mounting dissatisfaction. Akabenezer revealed that the movie is a portion of a wider body of work he has created on the subject. But the focal point of his campaign to increase public awareness of the damaging impacts of illicit mining on the environment is this specific initiative. The film, which has a debut date of next month, will examine in great detail how galamsey has exacerbated the depletion of Ghana's natural resources.

"On Galamsey, I have a ton of content. Next month, a movie I made about it will be released," Akabenezer stated in the interview. He underlined that the movie's goal is to inspire Ghanaians to take action to end galamsey rather than having a political message. "The movie tells us to quit using galamsey, but it is not about politics. since every one of our water bodies has gotten worse. "I see how water bodies are preserved when I travel overseas, but here, it's always getting worse," he continued.

With far-reaching effects on the ecosystem and the livelihoods of those who live nearby, galamsey has grown to be a national threat. Critics contend that the government's response has been sluggish, permitting the situation to worsen, despite the requests for prompt and decisive action from the public. Akabenezer's choice to draw attention to this problem through entertainment could have a big effect. His recognition as an award-winning actor would probably increase interest in the movie and its message on the importance of protecting Ghana's natural riches.

With the film's premiere approaching, it might be a potent tool for fostering in-depth discussions and motivating group efforts to put a stop to illicit mining in the nation. Next month is anticipated to see the film's premiere.
