Ghanaian actor Adjetey Anang popularly known as Pusher, has highlighted the impact of storytelling in addressing societal ills like illegal mining, known in Ghanaian parlance as galamsey.
While reacting to a question about the need for creative industry people to add their voices to the campaign against illegal mining, the ‘Things We Do for Love’ actor said
they wield so much power that can be channeled through their craft than embark on protests.
“We’ve learnt to do that so well in the stories that we tell and so every now and then if you watch our productions we have adaptations of them, we change certain lines,
we inject some of these things for the audience to know that we can have the entertainment and fun but there are serious issues going on there and have to pay attention
so we are able to craft that well in our stories that we tell and that’s the best and I think that that’s where we should be heard loudly that hitting the streets,” he said.
He, however, stated that he supports demonstrations against critical issues like galamsey provided they are done within the confines of the law.
