Meet

Award-winning Ghanaian journalist, documentary filmmaker, multimedia consultant, agribusiness entrepreneur and champion of Ahanta heritage, Justice Baidoo (@justbaidoo), whose work has significantly shaped contemporary storytelling in Ghana and beyond.

His background in investigative journalism and development communication, has aided in building his reputation for producing powerful human-centred stories that shed light on social issues, climate change, education and public health.

Furthermore, his reporting has appeared on major international platforms such as the BBC and Al Jazeera, while his work with Joy News Ghana has set a high standard for multimedia storytelling.

As a passionate advocate for underreported voices, Baidoo has used film and journalism not only to inform, but to inspire action, earning recognition and awards for both impact and creativity. His contributions continue to influence a new generation of African journalists committed to using storytelling as a tool for social change.

A  champion of his native Ahantaman whose language he is desperately trying to resurrect, Baidoo is a mentor to many young journalists and filmmakers; and remains committed to using media as a tool for social change.

His latest work as co-producer of a documentary unearthing 93 years old Chris Hesse – personal cinematographer of Ghana’s first President Kwame Nkrumah – is due to be out by September, and will further seal his credentials as a great inspirational filmmaker and youth development advocate.
