The film premiered on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the UPSA Auditorium in Accra, with three separate screenings held at 2 PM, 5 PM, and 8 PM to accommodate the large turnout.
Scripted and filmed entirely in Twi, AMA tells the coming-of-age story of a young girl navigating her own dreams and aspirations against her parents' attempts to control her decisions instead of simply guiding her.
The premiere also doubled as a milestone celebration for McBrown, marking 25 years in Ghana's entertainment industry, and drew a star-studded crowd of celebrities, industry figures, and fans who turned out to support her.
