According to him, the film is already on the Liberian market.Mr. Frank indicated that he and the team have no idea of these perpetrators parading with their movie in the communities stating, “Your please help us.”
He further wondered, “How do we benefit from our hard-earned labor.” In his post, Mr. Frank Sr. is seeking the help of the Government of Liberia and every well-meaning Liberian to help save his work from duplication. “Government really needs to come to our aid. Piracy is a crime,” Frank in a frustrated toneadded.
