The locally made comedy-drama is now streaming for audiences in two of Ghana’s biggest diaspora markets, with a wider global release promised.
Ghanaians living in the United States and the United Kingdom can now watch Vibes The Movie from home. The film has been listed on Amazon Prime Video in both countries, moving from Ghanaian cinema screens to one of the world's biggest streaming platforms.
The release was reported by Adom Online, which notes that the production team expects a wider worldwide rollout soon, with further announcements on availability still to come.
What the film is about
Vibes The Movie follows two friends, Obolo Tui and Lil Pui, who are fed up with poorly paid and humiliating jobs and decide to chase something better. Their hunt for a breakthrough pulls them through one unpredictable business idea after another, straining their friendship along the way.
The story mixes rap, comedy and drama, built around familiar themes of hustle, ambition and survival.
It was written and directed by Nicholas Nartey, known as Big Ghun, and produced by PB Studios Africa. Big Ghun also stars, alongside Jeffrey Nortey. The supporting cast brings together several well-known Ghanaian entertainment names: comedian Clemento Suarez, actor Aaron Adatsi, musicians Feli Nuna and Krymi Music, and media personality Giovani Caleb.
Awards and festival run
The streaming debut comes after a steady run of recognition on the festival circuit.
In December 2025, the film won Best Feature Film at the BLACK Feedback Film Festival, which operates under the WILDsound festival network. In February 2026, it picked up an Outstanding Achievement Award at the American Motion Pictures Festival.
At home, it was named Comic Movie of the Year at the 2026 Ghana Comedy Awards.
Most recently, it earned two nominations — Best African Film and Best Ghallywood Film — at the 2026 Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival in Canada. That festival marked its tenth anniversary with an awards ceremony in September. "Ghallywood" is the informal name for Ghana's English-language film industry, in the same way "Nollywood" refers to Nigeria's.
Why it matters for Ghanaians abroad
For Ghanaians in the US and UK, streaming access removes the usual barriers. Local films often screen briefly in Accra and Kumasi cinemas and then become hard to find legally overseas, which has long pushed diaspora audiences towards pirated copies or informal downloads.
A listing on a mainstream platform such as Prime Video means the film sits beside international titles, is searchable by name, and earns revenue that can be traced back to the producers.
It also puts Ghanaian humour, language and street culture in front of viewers who may never have watched a Ghanaian film before.
Audiences in the two countries can find the title by searching for Vibes The Movie on Amazon Prime Video.
