Damn the Man, Save the Rex!

Damn the Man, Save the Rex! follows filmmaker Akosua Adoma Owusu’s ongoing effort to revive Accra’s Rex Cinema, one of Ghana’s oldest cinema houses. Built in 1937, the Rex once embodied Kwame Nkrumah’s vision of cinema as a cultural tool for independence and cultural renewal, but it has since fallen into disrepair. The film reflects on this history while reimagining the Rex as a living hub for film, art, and community.
