Abraham Attah
Abraham won the Marcello Mastroianni’s Best Actor Award for his lead role in the movie “Beasts of Nation”, alongside top international movie star, Idris Elba.
According to the Director of the movie Cary Fukunaga, Abraham was discovered on the streets of Ghana during the shooting of the soon to be released.
Cary, who was impressed by his outstanding performance, has decided to fund Abraham’s education in Ghana.
She said “For Abraham, he’s only 14 so we had to get him up to speed in school, so right now we put him into boarding school back in Ghana so he can get up to normal 14 year old academics. By nature of us crossing into these people’s lives you have some responsibility there to make their lives better”.
