Detailed Information for An African Election

Additional Details

Film Screening: Wed 30 Nov 2011 An African Election Followed by a Q&A with Adjoa Andoh and other guests TBC In 2008, while the world turned its gaze to the first presidential race in the United States in which a black man was running for president, the African nation of Ghana was also making history. Ghana was the first Sub-Saharan country to gain its independence, in 1957. Since then, it has served as a political barometer for stability in Africa, particularly in the conflict-ridden West. After only one previous peaceful transfer of power, the country again goes to the polls to elect a new leader - while the world waits to see if Western-style democracy can be maintained. Swiss born filmmaker, Jarreth Merz, travels to the capital city of Accra during the months preceding the election to take the temperature of the country and witness the campaign. After a 28-year absence Merz, who grew-up in Ghana, is eager to see how this once hopeful, third world country has progressed and where they are heading... a suspenseful, well-edited documentary by Swiss film-maker Jarreth Merz filled with big personalities, colourful speech-making and high-stakes intrigue - Screen Daily
