Award-winning Ghanaian actress Gloria Sarfo has vowed to continue advocating for change in the country’s struggling film industry.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, the outspoken actress said although some of her colleagues criticise her for being vocal about the state of the industry, she will not relent.
She stressed that her commitment is for the benefit of younger actors entering the field.
“I used to say the Ghanaian film industry is not worth dying for but I have changed my mind. Because I think that I am fighting for the next generation of film makers. Not the people who think they are okay, who think they are satisfied, they are content with where they are; with where they are movie industry is. I am fighting for the next generation,” she said.
According to her, many young actors frequently reach out to her, expressing their frustrations and urging her not to give up her advocacy.
In an Instagram post published on 15th July 2025, Sarfo lamented that the talents of many Ghanaian actors who could thrive elsewhere, particularly in Nigeria, are being wasted at home.
“Honestly, if you’re in Nigeria as an actor, you’d realize that you’ve REALLY WASTED YOUR TALENT back in Ghana,” she wrote. “As in, people are shooting on a daily basis, back to back, non stop. Meanwhile, in my country Ghana, producers STRUGGLE to even shoot one film in a year.”
She described the situation as “CRAZY” and “totally disheartening,” questioning what had gone wrong in an industry that once flourished. “What has happened to our industry??? Talents are BEING WASTED. Mercy Lord,” she added.
Her comments drew mixed reactions, with some lambasting her for portraying Ghana in a bad light.
Gloria Sarfo has featured in a number of productions including Efiewura, The Perfect Picture, Aloe Vera and Adam The Eve.
