Ghanaian US based filmmaker, Leila Djansi has slammed all those criticizing Oscar Awards organizers for disqualifying Genevieve Nnaji’s Lionheart movie.
Lionheart was disqualified from the Best International Feature because it is predominantly in English language, which is against the rule of the category.
This didn’t sit well with many fans of Genevieve Nnaji and the movie who took to social media to air their grievance.
However, Leila Djansi is of the opinion that the disqualification is a right decision which will enable African filmmakers to start creating movies in local dialect.
