“The Color Purple.” I guess we all know by now that Ghanaian rapper and filmmaker @blitzambassador will be directing a musical adaptation of American writer Alice Walker’s Pulitzer award winning novel “The Color Purple.” The film will be co-produced by Oprah Winfrey who was an actress in the drama adaptation of the same novel by Steven Spielberg in 1985, Quincy Jones, Scott Sanders and Steven Spielberg. After the release of the film the color purple won’t just be a color for us but a sign of excellence, hard work and growth. 📷: Nana Osei - 2020 #la #labadi #accra #ghana #africa #thecolorpurple #blitzambassador #film #alicewalker #oprahwinfrey #stevenspielberg #quincyjones #scottsanders #novel #dynamicafrica #everydayafrica #visiterlafrique #ashantiimmigrant #accrawedey (at Labadi Olympia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE11eJXDB7L/?igshid=jcwuc6bm6diy

THE BURIAL OF KOJO*** Written and directed by Blitz Bazawule @blitzambassador Distributed by  @arraynow The first feature film of the Ghanaian director is a visually stunning film with a language and a narrative that has been many times theorised about when speaking of a truly African cinema that can truthfully represents the world and imaginary of the cultures of the continent. The film was independently financed through crowdfunding. The director made a great effort to make an African production without the influences inevitably linked to foreign financing. The film is full of magic imagery and creates a world that goes beyond the earthly. In Spain, you can find it on Vimeo On Demand (with no spinach subtitles yet).
 For the rest of the world try Netflix.
