From 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 1,000 films that captured the birth of African independence in the fifties and sixties. Yet unseen by the public, these films may not only rewrite Ghanaian and African history—but world history itself.

THE EYES OF GHANA previously had its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and  is executive produced by Barack & Michelle Obama. 

Following the screening there will be a Q&A moderated by Dr. Rashid Sumalia in conversation with one of the film’s producers Nana Adwoa Frimpong.

Space is limited. RSVP required.
