About the Film
After the passing of his mother, Fiifi, a 20-year-old Lv200 Industrial Arts student, begins experiencing panic attacks and starts seeing and hearing malicious apparitions. He seeks help from Dr. Baaba Annan, a 30-year-old therapist.
With her guidance, Fiifi delves into his mind to uncover the source of his visions and faces a choice: succumb to the torment of his haunting apparitions or confront them and overcome the echoes with a new voice.
Echo Chamber is a film that highlights that mental health issues are not exclusive to the Western world and encourages therapy for all, conveyed through striking and immersive visuals.
