Irish-Ghanaian catholic missionary renowned for founding the Lepers Aid Committee and serving as parish priest at Christ the King Catholic Church in Accra, Rev. Fr. Andrew Campbell recently opened up about his past cinema visits, shedding light on a time when cinemas were a popular pastime in Ghana.
During a conversation, Father Campbell reminisced about the era when frequenting the cinema was a common practice among Ghanaians, citing iconic venues like the Roxy cinema among others that were popular in their day.
However, the priest also shared an unexpected experience from his cinema-going days.
He recalled visiting a cinema in the Nima area and being taken aback when he discovered that the screening was of a blue film, featuring x-rated content.
In line with his faith and beliefs, Father Campbell swiftly made the decision to leave the cinema, stating, “I quickly left the cinema when I saw the Blue film about to show. This cinema was located in Nima back then. I couldn’t stand there and watch. So I quickly left.”
This revelation adds a personal touch to Father Campbell’s public image, showcasing both his familiarity with popular culture and his steadfast commitment to his religious principles.
