The Bukom Boxing Arena will provide an unconventional setting for the premiere of the action-thriller No Man of God, as director Ampong Kwaku Kwakye seeks to give movie lovers an experience that reflects the film's action-packed storyline.
The movie, produced by Kornerstonez Productions, will be screened at the arena from Friday, November 13 to Sunday, November 15, 2026, with two shows each evening at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The venue was chosen to complement the film's action scenes and give audiences a unique viewing experience.
Designed like a Roman coliseum, where gladiators once fought before spectators, the Bukom Boxing Arena offers an atmosphere the director considers suitable for an action film built around combat and confrontation.
The screening will also mark the first time a movie is being shown at the boxing venue.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz on Tuesday, November 10, lead actor Majid Michel described the location as an interesting choice, saying it would appeal particularly to movie lovers seeking something beyond the conventional cinema experience.
“To drive all the way to the Bukom Boxing Arena means you really love movies, particularly action films, and want to be part of this experience,” he said.
The film tells the story of Michael, played by Michel, a pastor whose attempt to live a life of faith is threatened by his violent past.
Before becoming a man of God, Michael served in an elite special forces unit. However, after more than a decade away from his former colleagues, his past catches up with him when they track him down in search of information about hidden natural minerals.
They subsequently target a vulnerable family in his congregation, using them as leverage to force him to cooperate.
Majid said the character's struggle to reconcile his religious responsibilities with his troubled past was central to the role.
“I play a priest who has a past. Before he became a priest, he was part of an elite group that worked for the government. They were special forces, and now that past is catching up with him in his present life as a priest,” he said.
He added that Michael faces difficult decisions as he tries to protect his congregation while confronting the people and circumstances he thought he had left behind.
Directed by Kwakye, No Man of God is an action-thriller with elements of faith, redemption and family drama.
It features Adjetey Anang as Sam, alongside James Gardiner, Nikki Samonas, Nollywood actress Bambam Olawunmi, Gadede Segbefia and Akofa Edjeani, among others.
The three-day premiere at the Bukom Boxing Arena is expected to offer audiences a different way of experiencing Ghanaian cinema.
