Ghanaian actress Portia Asare Boateng, in an interview with Ahodwo TV, opened up about the significant challenges within the Kumawood movie industry and what has accounted for the sharp decline.
She pointed out that hatred and lack of unity among colleagues are key reasons for the decline of the Kumasi movie industry. Portia Asare discussed how negative behaviour and attempts to sabotage fellow actors have created a toxic environment. According to her, this has led to a decrease in the production and quality of Kumawood films.
She shared her own experiences of being targeted by peers, describing extreme measures taken to undermine her. She alleged that these attempts included professional, personal, and spiritual attacks. However, she chose not to name specific individuals.
