"We created a film that entertains while prompting reflection on the choices we make for those we love," said de Graft-Johnson. "King of T3MA" showcases the universal themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience. We are excited to share the true voices and stories of Ghanaian youth with the world."

The film features an impressive cast, including David Oppong Osabutey (also known as “Big Tim”) in the lead role, alongside Melvin Dain, veteran actor Fred Amugi, and Kingsley Yamoah.
