Q&A WITH DIRECTOR!
Desperate to return to America years after his deportation, Ghanian Police Inspector Boniface Koomsin finds that his newly acquired counterfeit passport is missing, and embarks on a dangerous journey through modern Ghana to retrieve the stolen document. His own search is linked to a series of violent crimes, and he joins forces with a seasoned police veteran, who is still optimistic about his country.
As their investigation brings them closer to the truth, Boniface finds he must choose between his dreams of a future abroad and the reality of life in his homeland. Director Deron Albright crafts a brilliant policiér that is also a poignant story of one man’s journey to find and understand the value of his own culture.
