Can You Guess the Film by the Movie Poster? This Is Harder Than You Think

We dont remember Garfield having weapons and did Groundhog Day really have a GIANT groundhog eating humans?!

A handful of highly skilled artists in Ghana are behind some of the most imaginative, beautiful and exaggerated film posters. These posters are hilarious, captivating, colorful and highly impressive. So much so, that theyve become a worldwide sensation!

Whilst you may disregard these as misleading bootlegs, anthropologist Dr. Joseph Oduro-Frimpong believes that these posters are vital artifacts of Ghanaian art, history and culture. And he should know, hes collected over one hundred of them. We begin Black History Month with this story exploring the incredible talent Ghana has to offer
