REMNANTS

Director: Hannah Awo Bonney / 42 Minutes, Ghana 2018


The film explores the cultural and historical impact of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade on Ghana. Indeed, in Ghana the story of the slave trade is one that is not popular or widely talked about.
People feel uncomfortable having conversations regarding this dark past and the memories associated with it although they did not experience it. Currently a lecturer at the National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI) in Accra, Bonney graduated from the same institution and later proceeded to the Kunsthochschule für Medien in Germany for her Post Graduate studies.
