In Tété’s Footsteps | 2023 Hidden Compass Pathfinder Prize Winner | Short Documentary

Описание: In the 1960s, Tété-Michel Kpomassie embarked on an extraordinary journey from his home in Togo to Greenland, becoming the first African explorer to venture into the Arctic. His remarkable experience is captured in the classic memoir An African in Greenland. More than 50 years later, Nigerian-born storytellers Lola Akinmade and Noo Saro-Wiwa, along with Swedish videographer Erik Jaråker, retrace Kpomassie’s steps in this captivating short documentary.
