The Eyes of Ghana (2025)
93-year-old documentarian Chris Hesse—personal cinematographer to forgotten African icon Kwame Nkrumah—races against blindness and time to rescue and repatriate a secret trove of over 1,300 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.
