Accra Power - UK Premiere Film

Synopsis

Over the last few years Ghana’s power crisis has increased with irregular and inadequate electricity supply. Through this film the director draws inspiration from this lack of power (electricity) to explore different notions of power across the city of Accra. Featuring young Ghanaian artists Poetra Asantewa, Wanlov The Kubolor, DJ Steloo and others, it looks at power through art, dance, spoken word and more. Through their stories the film explores how creative energy lights up the city, showing that life doesn’t stop when the power is out.

These screenings are supported by Africa Week at the University of Edinburgh.
