According to Akrobeto, Dumsor is the major cause of the collapse of our movie industry because families felt reluctant in buying CDs and that led to a decrease in the patronage of Ghanaian movies.

“Dumsor was a big problem for our work. It was the beginning of our woes because we weren’t able to work as we used to do…People could not even watch the movies they bought at the time and couldn’t catch up with new movies because there was no light to watch them“.
