A young Ghanaian girl living in London rediscovers her African heritage

This fantastical religious drama sets out to explore the themes and aesthetics of African cinema and traditional Akan story telling in the context of contemporary Britain. Ploddingly shot and eccentrically scripted, the main railway feature is a scene on Hungerford Bridge with a train of EPB stock passing. There is, however, an additional shot of the frontage to Camden Town Underground station and a view overlooking the lines out of Paddington, but no trains are seen.

A train of blue and grey liveried EPB stock is seen through the girders of Hungerford Bridge
This is the somewhat rundown entrance to Camden Town Underground station
In the centre of this view from Trellick Tower is Golborne Road bridge, which takes its aforementioned namesake across the tracks of the Great Western main line. ‘Tis a pity no train was passing!
