The Eyes of Ghana

The film follows 93-year-old documentarian Chris Hesse, who served as the personal cinematographer for Kwame Nkrumah. Hesse is on a mission to rescue and repatriate a collection of over 1,300 films that have remained unseen by the public. These films are crucial in preserving the history of Ghana and the broader narrative of African independence.

The documentary not only highlights Hesse's personal story but also the importance of these films in potentially rewriting both Ghanaian and global history. The urgency of his quest is underscored by his race against time and impending blindness, adding a poignant layer to the narrative. Collectors of documentary films and those interested in African history will find this film significant for its content and the historical context it addresses.
