It will be followed by chatroom discussions by Adom TV's Maame Akua Austin, who also hosts Asempa FM's flagship show, Abrabo.

'Sankofa', which is collaboration between Adom TV and Mesduah Productions, was produced by Nana Agyeman Duah 1 and Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu.

Touching on the significance of the programme which also bears the alias 'Kumnovela', the channel manager of Adom TV, Abena Yiadom, stated that it is line with the overall philosophy of the channel providing rich content to the channel's viewers in a language relatable to them.

She also added that the programme forms part of her outfit's drive to bolster the creative arts industry in Ghana.

Abena Yiadom assured viewers and advertisers that with this new Twi telenovela, Adom TV will continue to remain one of the best TV channels and the best viewing experience and value for money for advertisers.

'Sankofa' tells a story about the matrilineal inheritance system of most Akan groups. In the ensuing months, viewers will be treated to the story of a king who is married to a woman who has failed to bear any fruits of the womb for as long as the marriage lasted.

Frustrated and fearing that he may not have an heir to his throne, the king makes a decision to marry another wife, who immediately becomes pregnant for him.

The plot gets thicker, has a heir been born? Will this heir survive the intrigue of the palace? Will this child bring happiness into the life of the king?

The 'Sankofa' series will provide answers to the question, “is the child really the king's” but most important in the series is how the truth is finally revealed.
