Anniwaa Buachie is an award-winning actor, filmmaker, audiobook narrator, who explains how she turned the story ‘Moon Over Aburi’ by award-winning poet and author Kwame Dawes into a film.


That’s where I first met Anniwaa at the screening of ‘Moon Over Aburi’ at the London International Pan-African Film Festival in South London in 2024 - you’ll hear me refer to it as PAFF in the interview.


Please stick around and listen to this inspiring artist as she talks about her journey into filmmaking, audiobook narration, and why it’s been important for her to centre Black women in her craft and work with Ghanaian creatives in Ghana.
