På gensyn med Tafo

This is a film which, from a uniquely personal perspective, explores the changes which have taken place in Ghana since independence in 1957. The film-maker, Erik Knudsen, was born in Ghana to a Danish father and a Ghanian mother just prior to independence. The family subsequently moved to Denmark in the early 1960's.
We are taken back to Tafo, a small town in the Akim area of Ghana, where Erik's early childhood was spent. The family situation in Tafo provides a strikingly effective micro-cosmic view of the general Ghanian transition into the modern world.
But the exploration does not end with the family; it goes further and deeper into the legacy of slavery and contemporary life. It proceeds to expose the film-maker's own perspective as a consequence of a modern marriage of cultures.
