Back To The Motherland (Documentary)

This is the documentary sequel to the critically acclaimed, award-nominated film "British Ghanaians: Lost In Translation" (SparkleLight Productions, 2015). In this powerful follow up, Filmmaker Pamela Sakyi explores the steps required for relocating to Ghana, highlighting the testimonies from several Ghanaians in the Diaspora, who have either embarked on, or are considering making the journey themselves. Pamela investigates life in her family's hometown of Berekum and aims to find out what ways she can migrate into the local culture and contribute to the community and economy.

The film premiered in October 2019 in London and was endorsed by the Official Year of Return Ghana 2019 events initiative. It was a part of a host of events commemorating the 400th year since the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Jamestown, Virginia (https://visitghana.com/events/year-of-return-ghana-2019).
