Atinka Media Village is set to premier a documentary on one of Ghana’s Greatest Footballers of all time on 6th May 2019.
The documentary titled “the Untold G.O.A.T” will reveal how a young boy rose against all odds to become one of the greatest footballers in Ghana and beyond.
The documentary which will be aired on all Atinka Media Village’s platforms Atinka TV, Atinka FM and all its social media handles was produced and directed by head of Sports for Atinka Media Village, Saddick Adams.
Commenting on the documentary, award winning sports Journalist, Saddick Adams stated that the film was inspired by the lack of documentaries on the history of Ghana’s past football heroes.
“I’ve spent the last five months traveling over 2,500 kilometers with my decrepit camera, collecting pieces of information, memorabilia and anecdotes of this man whose name is still popular on the lips of millions of Ghanaian soccer fans and yet, very little known of him. Very little has been seen of him, very little to read of him. Out of the over 30 million people in Ghana today, less than a hundred of them I think, were privileged to have seen him play and most of them are in a state of health that makes it difficult for them to remember any memories of him”, he said.
Legendary sports journalist Joe Lartey, who featured in the documentary, said the death of the footballer robbed him the chance to have won the sought-after FIFA Ballon d’Or award for Ghana in its early years.
The Untold G.O.A.T is an eye-opening and revealing documentary of a football legend whose history has been lost.
“UNTOLD G.O.A.T is a story of striking football moments, golden memories, bitterness, flamboyance, loyalty and tragedy that will honour and mark a landmark anniversary of this legendary son of the land. It is very unfortunate that not much data and history has been documented of our sporting heroes and this will be the first of many films to be produced to honour these heroes and also as reference point for the current generation”, Saddick added.
