Some movie producers in Ghana are threatening to venture into the
production of pornographic movies if their grievances are not heard.
The producers are warning that if television stations, who show foreign
soaps with explicit scenes, do not desist from the act, they will also
start shooting pornographic movies.
The Public Relation Officer (PRO) of the Film Producers Association of
Ghana (FIPAG), Ola Micheals made their intentions known during an
interview with Black I on the Daybreak Hitz (Showbiz Review) Show on
Hitz FM.
“If we can’t tame the TV stations, let the producers also produce porno movies, and let’s move on,” he said.
According to him, the lack of examination of the content that airs on
some Ghanaian television stations is discouraging and is contributing to
the proliferation of pornography.
He threatened that if the rules are not checked, he, together with some
producers, will start filming pornography films in Ghana.
Ola said, it seems the broadcasting industry has no law governing the
industry paving way for television stations to show foreign soaps
without editing.
“You look at the kissing and the fondling scenes and ask yourself if I
put this thing in our movies will it be allowed,” he quizzed.
The FIPAG PRO went ahead to say that, if half of the things showed on TV
were fused into their movies, Ghanaians will give them names such as
“soft porn”.
He likened the movie industry to a jungle because everyone is permitted to do what pleases them.
“We should allow it to go on so that people can also make money from porno movies instead of going through poverty.”
Ola further disclosed that, shooting a pornographic movie is less
expensive saying “it takes few thousands of cedis to shoot a porn movie
and trust me people will watch”
“So producers are also going to start investing in porno,” he concluded.
