About the Film

This documentary challenges perceptions that Ghanaian women’s activism around existential and political issues is of more recent or ‘western’ origin. While the contributions of African women to anti-colonial and nationalist struggles have been recognized, the position of women in post-independence states and societies has been very uncertain. The film traces 16 women who came of age in the 1960s and 1970s. It follows their experiences, told in their own words, as Ghana passed through periods of military, single-party, and multi-party rule.
