Ama: An African Voyage in Discovery

Ama: An African Voyage in Discovery

A pioneering Afrofuturist film produced and directed by Kwesi Owusu and Nii Kwate Owoo. Written by Kwesi Owusu, Ama is about how a floppy disk becomes a prophetic device through which a young Ghanaian girl (played by Georgina Ackerman) living in England rediscovers her African identity and the eventual consequences for the rest of her family.

The film’s cast includes Anima Misa, Alexandra Duah, Evans Nii Omar Hunter, Georgina Ackerman, Thomas Baptiste, Eddie Tagoe, Roger Griffiths and the Adzido Pan African Dance Ensemble.

It was described by the famous Voice newspaper of London at the time of its release as “The first African film to be shot in London. It goes where no Black British film has ever gone.” The West Africa news magazine also referred to it as: “An arresting spectacle.”
