GLODIF documentary exposes Ghana’s land rights crisis, calls for urgent action

The Global Dignity Forum (GLODIF) has released a compelling new documentary that brings national attention to the ongoing land rights crisis in Ghana. Available now on YouTube, the film offers an unfiltered look into the lives of residents from communities such as Ayi Mensah, Abokobi Boi and West Hills, in the Greater Accra Region—areas grappling with increasing land disputes and forced evictions.

Through moving personal testimonies, the documentary captures the frustration, fear, and determination of those affected by land rights violations.

Residents recount how their homes and livelihoods are under threat, demanding justice and urging government authorities to act.

The film also features voices from key human rights advocates, including:

• Dr. Joseph Kobla Wemakor, Executive Director of Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG)
• Genevieve Partington, Country Director of Amnesty International Ghana
• Mr. Frank Doyi, Founding Chair of GLODIF

These leaders are calling for urgent reforms to address the systemic issues fueling land conflicts, stressing the need for transparency, accountability, and community-centered solutions.

“We can’t talk about dignity without addressing land injustices,” said Mr. Frank Doyi. “This is not just about land—it’s about people’s basic rights and futures.”
