Award Winning Indie Film – Queen of Glory
Watch Queen of Glory, the heartwarming comedy independent film written, directed and starring Nana Mensah.
The movie is a delight, so it is no surprise that it has won numerous awards at indie film festivals internationally and here in the North America.
On the surface, the film seems very different than my life story.
However, the universal truths are very relatable.
Each of us can find ways to relate to and learn from the strong female lead and choices she makes as she grows and forges her path.
In addition to the drama, there is plenty of humor and touching moments that feel like natural parts of life instead of just scenes from a movie.

Synopsis
Sarah Obeng, a doctoral student at Columbia University, is weeks away from following her very married boyfriend to Ohio when her mother suddenly passes away.
Her inheritance?
King of Glory, a small Christian bookstore serving a Ghanaian immigrant community in the Bronx.
Tasked with arranging her mother’s funeral according to her family’s traditional expectations, Sarah must simultaneously navigate her plans to relocate as well as the unexpected return of her estranged father, all while grappling with the bookstore.
Aided by an only-in-New York ensemble of Eastern European neighbors, opinionated aunties, and a no-nonsense ex-con employee, Sarah must face her new responsibilities while figuring out how to remain true to herself.
