Hollywood’s 'DSK Unauthorized' comes to Hit Cinemas in Ghana in Christmas

For a Ghanaian, Nancy Agyapong to have set a Hollywood record for her lead participation in the New York International Pictures feature film, DSK Unauthorized, makes her nation proud. The film’s producer, Ronnie Banerjee, has shown strong interest to premiere the said movie in Ghana.

“This film will create waves, already it has garnered much attention both domestically and internationally,” he remarked via cellular while stealing a moment from another busy film set in Manhattan. “Money can buy almost anything”, which is the sub-title to DSK Unauthorized, is set to be premiered first in the United States in October 2012 and then a month or two after in GH and Nigeria cinemas.

In Africa, poor victims hardly receive right judgment and their cases become “Foolish Case” as most call it. Furthermore, to express the situation of being enclosed, they rather make reference to Europe and America. A common grievance and sentiment of the poor is that justice can never prevail in Africa, only in Europe and America.

On the contrary, could it be that the film’s writer/director, Hollywood veteran Damian Chapa, thinks otherwise to the cry of the African poor and to the most believed ‘Money cannot buy everything?’ Well, the suspense in DSK Unauthorized will thrill you till the movie ends.

The film details the story of Dominique Strauss-Kahn (played by Jilber Azafrani Beliti), an exceptionally powerful man in the world who would have surely become the next president of France, whose career post and political ambitions were forever derailed by a Guinean NYC maid Nafissatou Diallo (a lead played by a Ghanaian actress Nancy Agyapong) as she presses attempted rape charges on him. A twist then sets at the Court of Law.

Other avenues are then explored, thereby taking a different direction and becoming deeper than simply rape allegations. What could that be? These true events will soon hit the screens of Africa. Will justice prevail?

Let’s wait to see if money can really buy almost everything.
