Producer Anita Afonu expected to be at the September 27 screening.
From executive producers Barack and Michelle Obama and two-time Oscar®-winning director Ben Proudfoot, THE EYES OF GHANA is a stunning feature documentary following 93-year-old documentarian Chris Hesse—personal cinematographer to forgotten African icon Kwame Nkrumah—as he races against blindness and time to rescue and repatriate a secret trove of over 1,300 films that captured the birth of African independence in the 1950s and 1960s.
Previously unseen by the public, these rediscovered films may not only rewrite Ghanaian and African history—but the history of the world itself.
