Join gonzo Aussie filmmaker Andrew Leavold (THE SEARCH FOR WENG WENG) on his wildest adventure yet. FILM SAFARI GHANA explores Leavold’s obsession with the work of Ghanaian action movie sensation, Samuel “Ninja” Nkansah. Journeying to Kumasi to meet his hero, Andrew soon finds himself in the starring role of Ninja's slavery-themed action movie, WHITE DEVIL.

FILM SAFARI GHANA mixes film clips, interviews, and cinema-verite footage to create a vivid, vibrant and violent postcard from one of cinema’s final frontiers. It chronicles the history of Ninja and Ghana’s crazed DIY digital film scene, and the birth of a partnership between two of the world’s most outlandish and unconventional directors as they hatch a plan to reteam in Ghana to shoot Leavold’s dream project, a four-foot kung-fu remake of THE HARDER THEY COME.

Director Andrew Leavold will be in attendance for an intro and Q&A.
