THE EYES OF GHANA

NYC PREMIERE During the waning years of British rule, Chris Hesse is tasked with becoming Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah’s personal cinematographer. Once a young filmmaker entrusted with recording the tumultuous march to sovereignty, the 93-year-old looks to pass his legacy, and a hidden, precious archive, to a new generation. Executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, the film showcases a fascinating chapter in Ghana’s history and is a love letter to the nation’s cinema. – Brandon Harrison

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Ben Proudfoot and producers Nana Adwoa Frimpong, Moses Bwayo, Anita Afonu and Brandon Somerhalder.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
