A Challenge of Life
Director: Joseph Aketemah / 25 Minutes, Ghana 2013
It’s a social documentary on the life of Richard Ofori, a gay in Ghana.  He grows into adulthood and realizes that he has different feelings towards men. His newly discovered life takes on different perspectives as he tries to shape it with other colleagues who feel the same way as him. Societal hatred for gays in Ghana compels him to come into the open for acceptance. It equally looks at the implications of gay practice in Ghana as a whole.

The myth surrounding the substitution of a dead twin with a wooden doll is a belief system Atsu’s family has to deal with, notwithstanding the traumatizing ordeal Atsu has to endure. How much faith can he hold on to? The family belief system which is the traditional belief or the Christian doctrine which he now identifies with?
