According to a event guide published by **Pulse Ghana**, iconic actress and broadcaster Nana Ama McBrown is marking 25 years in the entertainment industry with the premiere of her self-produced all-Twi feature film, *Ama*, at the UPSA Auditorium in Accra. The 1980s coming-of-age movie serves as a major milestone for indigenous Ghanaian filmmaking.
Speaking on her career journey, **Nana Ama McBrown** shared on her verified Instagram page, “2026 marks 25 years of my career, and I am expressing gratitude to the public for supporting me.” Reporting on ticket demand, **GhanaWeb** added via Facebook, “The all-Twi film features top stars including Dr Likee and tells an inspiring local story.”
**Echotitbits Take:**
McBrown’s move to fund and distribute indigenous Twi-language projects reflects a broader West African movement prioritizing hyper-local storytelling over Westernized tropes. Strong local ticket sales will likely inspire similar theatrical runs across West African markets.
