In Ghana’s capital city Accra, the film release was celebrated with much fanfare.
Webster University Ghana, the first Sub-Saharan African campus for St. Louis, Missouri, USA-based University, hosted a private screening of the blockbuster film for its students, faculty, families, and extended community.
