Accra, Ghana: Travelers Discover 'Roxy' Open Air Cinema in Accra, Ghana

Travellers in Accra, Ghana discovered the “Roxy” -- an open-air cinema where a film was projected onto a white wall and admission cost 12p per person. The audience reacted loudly to key scenes; the picture went fuzzy in places where the tape had been rewound many times. A light spot of rain added to the effect. A second film followed at 8:30 p.m. at the doubled price of 24p -- a disappointment -- before barbecued steak with shito from a nearby side stall rounded out the evening.
