Filmmaker and actor Adams Mensah returns to Ghana, the country where he was born and spent half of his life. Together with Belgian and Ghanaian friends, he travels around his motherland and gauges the motivation of Ghanaians to leave their country. What are they missing in Ghana? Are they aware of the dangers along the way? What do they know about the personal and social consequences of migration? The film is shown in the presence of the filmmaker, who afterwards likes to discuss it with the audience.

 

The film premiered during Africa Festival Leuven 2018. The travel report was also screened in Zanzibar during Zanzibar International Film Festival 2018, in Ghana during Black Star International Film Festival  and received The Yaa Asantewaa Award for Film As A Tool For National Development 2018. The docufilm  was selected for Fespaco Film Festival 2019 in Ouagadougou under the documentary category.
