Get ready, Accra! The waves are rolling in at Silverbird Cinemas as the The Fisherman movie makes its grand Ghanaian premiere this Friday, September 19.
A heartwarming tale wrapped in humor, The Fisherman reels audiences into the life of Atta Oko, a retired fisherman whose quiet days take a wild twist when he teams up with a sharp-tongued, wisecracking talking fish. But this isn’t just about fishing nets and village life—Atta, his unlikely aquatic companion, and three headstrong dreamers set out on a whirlwind journey from their small rural town to bustling Accra, chasing after freedom, adventure, and maybe a boat of their own.
The film springs from the creative mind of Zoey Martinson, who found inspiration while visiting Keta, a fishing community in Ghana’s Volta Region.
And the cast? Pure star power! Look out for Ricky Adelayitar (Beasts of No Nation), Adwoa Akoto (I May Destroy You), Dulo Harris (Tales From The Big Apple), plus standout performances from Endurance Grand, William Lamptey, and Kiki Romi. Behind the scenes, production magic comes courtesy of Luu Vision Media, with producers Kofi Owusu Afriyie and Korey Jackson (Godfather of Harlem) making sure this story shines.
Whether you’re in it for the laughs, the adventure, or the cultural storytelling, The Fisherman promises a cinematic experience as refreshing as the ocean breeze.
Premiere Date: Friday, September 19
Venue: Silverbird Cinemas, Accra
