No Man of God to premiere at Bukom Boxing Arena in three-day film event

The action-thriller No Man of God will premiere at the Bukom Boxing Arena from Friday, November 13 to Sunday, November 15, 2026, in what will be the first film screening held at the Accra venue.

Produced by Kornerstonez Productions, the movie will be shown twice each evening, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Director Ampong Kwaku Kwakye chose the arena to create a setting that matches the film’s action-led storyline.

The Bukom Boxing Arena, designed in the style of a Roman coliseum where gladiators once fought before spectators, is regarded by the director as a fitting location for a story centred on combat and confrontation.

Lead actor Majid Michel said the venue would offer audiences an alternative to the traditional cinema experience. Speaking to Graphic Showbiz on Tuesday, November 10, he said the decision to hold the premiere there would attract people with a particular interest in action films.

“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.

A past that returns

Michel plays Michael, a pastor whose commitment to a life of faith is placed under pressure by his previous life. Before becoming a man of God, Michael served in an elite special forces unit.

After spending more than a decade separated from his former colleagues, he is tracked down when they seek information about hidden natural minerals. They then threaten a vulnerable family in his congregation, using the group to force Michael to co-operate.

Michel said the character’s attempt to balance his religious responsibilities with his violent history was at the heart of 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.

Michael is consequently forced to make difficult choices as he tries to protect members of his congregation while facing the people and circumstances he believed he had left behind.

Directed by Kwakye, No Man of God combines action with themes of faith, redemption and family drama.

The cast includes Adjetey Anang as Sam, as well as James Gardiner, Nikki Samonas, Nollywood actress Bambam Olawunmi, Gadede Segbefia and Akofa Edjeani, among others.

The three-day event at the Bukom Boxing Arena is intended to give viewers a different way to experience Ghanaian cinema, while making use of a venue traditionally associated with boxing and live combat.
