Speaking on these recent developments on 'Anchor Baby, Lonzo Nzekwe the producer said 'I know Africans will be receptive to the movie, because as long as we tried not to make it a completely African story, the movie reveals a lot of things about who we are. However we are grateful for how far the movie has come and how far it will still go. More so beyond Ghana, Anchor Baby will be going to several other African countries. We are hoping to distribute the movie across Africa through Pan African and we have no doubt that Africans will be receptive to it'.
