Sierra Leone Filmmakers have been long yearning for a solution that could help them market their movies and earn out of their hard labour. But such opportunities have been very slow to come by. Our Sierra Leonean brother and sister, Fatu Koroma and Idriss Barry Jalloh have just brought to life a very impressive modern streaming solution, Sierraflixx, a video streaming platform.
Sierraflixx is an Over-the-Top Based Video-on-demand streaming platform that offers a wide variety of movies, tv shows, documentaries and more. Sierraflixx streams 25times faster than YouTube in real-time. It streams up to 4k resolutions and offers parental control features. Sierraflixx is a legally registered cooperation in the United States of America and Sierra Leone while operations and management are being carried out in Sierra Leone.
The founder Idrissa Barry Jalloh happens to be a very notable professional graphics designer, movie director and the owner of more than two brands, notably the National Films Awards (NFA). He founded Sierraflixx in 2020 and continued building it over the years. The streaming platform is owned by Idrissa Barry Jalloh and the wonderful magnet and magnificent Fatu Kamara who has been behind the scenes pushing the industry in her own way.

Fayia Foray: Where can one Access the Platform?
Idriss Barry: ‘’You can access Sierraflixx on any smart device via the net and mobile app both on android and iOS devices just like any other streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime video, Iroko and More.’’
Fayia Foray: Does one need to subscribe?
Idriss Barry: ‘’Yes. You can subscribe to Sierraflixx using a visa card, MasterCard, American Express, Gpay, Apple pay, PayPal and mobile money.’’
Fayia Foray: we have seen platforms with so many ads. How is this one?
Idriss Barry: ‘’Sierraflixx is ad-free and 25times faster than YouTube in real-time. It streams up to 4k resolutions and offers parental control features.’’
Fayia: What’s the idea behind Sierraflixx? Why Sierraflixx?
Idriss Barry: ‘’Sierraflixx was founded with the intention to give Sierra Leoneans and Africans the platform to showcase their content and also make money from them.
As a founder, I always believe in solving problems. For every brand I launch, I must have seen a problem in the industry that I’ll try to solve. It’s a problem that we face in a country already. That’s how I come about bringing up business ideas.
Sierra Leonean content cannot be accessed on platforms like Hulu, Netflix, Iroko, Amazon prime and a whole lot of others. Because these platforms are owned by people in foreign countries, they have already monopolized them for their own people. They can only take content from people they know. Because I had an experience in submitting a film to Netflix
and I know how daunting it can be when I tried and it did not work.
The only aggregator for Netflix in West Africa is Film One TV which is in Nigeria. That’s not the only thing. They will take a
whole lot of percentage from every project that goes through them. And they will put their own logos on it and a whole lot of credit. So it’s really hard for Sierra Leoneans to get their content across these big platforms. So, we thought it fit that we can
still be able to showcase content from Sierra Leone to the world and that is why I brought up the idea about Sierraflixx.
I thought it fit that we can still have a platform wherein someone from any part of the country can be able to access Sierra Leonean films worldwide and every other person from other parts of the country.
As the founder, I started working on this idea about two years back and when I met Fatu Kamara, I told her about the idea and we kicked it up. And I can tell you that the platform is so unique and very much professional like any other platform in any part of the world. We offer streaming services; you can visit the platform and watch very beautiful Sierra Leonean movies. We also brought this idea to light because Sierra Leonean filmmakers hardly realize from their films because of bad market and piracy. Foreign films have proliferated so much across our market at a very cheaper rate and now people no longer watch films on DVD because every now uses smart TVs and smartphones.
With Sierraflixx, we will be buying some films, and partnering with filmmakers so that producers can realize something out of their hard work. This will give assurance to producers that as soon as they are done with their projects, they will have a platform to air their films and make money. This will be an employment hub for the country as well as entertainment. We have over five thousand people in the country that depend on filmmaking and the government cannot be able to employ everybody. It’s not just money-making. So, Sierraflixx we are looking forward to long-term expansion to other countries across Africa.
YouTube has videos that they prioritise, and a lot of Sierra Leoneans can only get one million views which are equivalent to like $1000 and that means that the content owners would have spent more money than that. And you’ll be watching Sierra Leonean content and get something else that doesn’t concern you. Also, it’s a downloadable platform wherein anybody can download and pirate it. And it’s free to view.
With Sierraflixx, you can be assured that you get paid when your content is on it and also, you can get paid before even your content goes on the platform. You would have made money to go and produce another movie. It’s sustainable and people can enjoy it without any disturbance because it’s ad free.”
Owners of Sierraflixx
You can access and download Sierraflixx app through Google Play Store and various app stores. Be assured of an ad-free streaming opportunity and enjoy various genres of Sierra Leone movies.
Coming soon…

This is awesome.
Good info and right to the point. I am not sure if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you guys have any ideea where to hire some professional writers? Thanks 🙂
Hey, honestly your site is coming along :-), but I had a question – it’s a bit slow. Have you thought about using a different host like propel? It’d help your visitors stick around longer = more profit long term anyway. There’s a decent review on it by this guy who uses gtmetrix to test different hosting providers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6s0ciJI4W4 and the whole video has a bunch of gold in it, worth checking out.
It’s my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most lethal cancer. It’s got unusual attributes. The more I really look at it a lot more I am persuaded it does not behave like a true solid cells cancer. If mesothelioma is really a rogue virus-like infection, so there is the chance of developing a vaccine plus offering vaccination for asbestos open people who are at high risk of developing potential asbestos linked malignancies. Thanks for discussing your ideas about this important ailment.
Very nice article and straight to the point. I am not sure if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you people have any thoughts on where to get some professional writers? Thank you 🙂
My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.

I have learned some new elements from your web-site about personal computers. Another thing I’ve always considered is that computers have become a specific thing that each house must have for many people reasons. They supply you with convenient ways to organize households, pay bills, search for information, study, pay attention to music as well as watch tv programs. An innovative approach to complete these types of tasks is with a mobile computer. These pcs are mobile ones, small, powerful and mobile.
Your home is valueble for me. Thanks!?
Its like you learn my mind! You appear to know so much approximately this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something. I think that you could do with some p.c. to pressure the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
I was recommended this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my trouble. You are amazing! Thanks!
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
Interesting blog post. What I would like to contribute is that computer system memory needs to be purchased if your computer can’t cope with what you do with it. One can set up two RAM boards containing 1GB each, in particular, but not certainly one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should always check the company’s documentation for one’s PC to make certain what type of memory it can take.
I抦 impressed, I must say. Really not often do I encounter a blog that抯 both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing relating to this.
I have mastered some essential things through your blog post post. One other subject I would like to say is that there are numerous games in the marketplace designed in particular for preschool age little ones. They include pattern acceptance, colors, wildlife, and styles. These generally focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This makes little kids occupied without sensing like they are studying. Thanks
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your site. You have some really good articles and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an email if interested. Many thanks!
Its such as you learn my mind! You seem to understand so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you simply could do with a few to force the message home a bit, but other than that, that is excellent blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.
Thanks for another informative blog. Where else could I get that type of information written in such an ideal way? I’ve a project that I’m just now working on, and I’ve been on the look out for such info.
I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my problem. You’re incredible! Thanks!
Picture this – 3 am in the morning, I had a line of fiends stretched around the corner of my block. It was in the freezing middle of January but they had camped out all night, jumping-ready to buy like there was a sale on Jordans. If you were 16 years old, in my shoes, you’d do anything to survive, right? I got good news though; I MADE IT OUT OF THE HOOD, with nothing but a laptop and an internet connection. I’m not special or lucky in any way. If I, as a convicted felon that used to scream “Free Harlem” around my block until my throat was sore, could find a way to generate a stable, consistent, reliable income online, ANYONE can! If you’re interested in legitimate, stress-free side hustles that can bring in $3,500/week, I set up a site you can use: https://incomecommunity.com
Thank you for writing this post. I like the subject too.
