The Destiny of Lesser Animals
2011 · Movie · 89 min
A Ghanaian police inspector embarks upon a dangerous, crime-laden journey to realize his ultimate dream - to escape the ghosts of his past and return to America. Infusing the policier genre with West African cinematic traditions and a neorealist emphasis on everyday life, the film becomes the story of one man's journey to find his purpose in the context of post-colonial Ghanaian independence.
