Abraham Attah's movie career and US relocation
Abraham Attah became a popular name in the Ghanaian film industry after featuring alongside his colleague Strika in the 2015 Netflix-produced movie, Beasts of No Nation, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.
Before starring in the movie, the former child actor had no acting experience and was discovered on the streets of Ashaiman by the production crew during their visit to film in Ghana.
The high-profile movie also starred English-born Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean actor Idris Elba, Dr Likee's former camp member Strika and British-Ghanaian actress, TV presenter, and producer, Ama K. Abebrese.
Abraham Attah gave a stellar acting performance in the movie as he played the role of Agu, a young and innocent boy recruited by a warlord into his rebel faction.
His performance earned him several accolades, including the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actor at the Venice International Film Festival and the Rising Star Award from the Black Film Critics Circle.
After Beasts of No Nation became a smash hit in the international scene, Abraham Attah relocated to the US for a better life and also to further his education.
