Love Brewed in the African Pot is a 1980 Ghanaian romantic drama film directed by Kwaw Ansah. It was reportedly the first privately financed Ghanaian feature film and is considered a classic. [1] [2]
The film takes place in Ghana during the colonial period. Aba Appiah, a woman born to a family of privileged settlers, falls in love with Joe Quansah, a fitting mechanic and son of a simple fisherman. Aba's father, Kofi Appiah, a retired civil servant, is opposed to their marriage, which goes against his plans for his daughter, for whom he had already chosen a husband. This family conflict leads to complex and unforeseen consequences.
The movie received positive reviews. [3]
