This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

Pokua is a short film directed by Pure Akan and Jennifer Kesewa, who wrote the screenplay. The story follows Pokua, a girl who has a strained relationship with her mother. However, when she moves into a new neighborhood, she is comforted by a genuine friendship with her new neighbor, Ofori. Through this friendship, Pokua learns that love can come from anywhere, and that it isn't tied to those we share family ties with.
