Briefing

Synopsis

Since the war on another rogue state is going so well, United States Secretary of Defence D. Crockett Bunker, in an understandably bullish mood, openly briefs reporters in the Pentagon press room. Throughout the session, Secretary Bunker is articulate and concise, even when some of the more radical elements in the press ask obstinate questions. Although sticking firmly to his principles, Secretary Bunker remains diplomatic and courteous throughout. But supposing he had come out saying what he really meant? Rewind. Start again. The same press conference, but this time Bunker gives it the way America wants to hear it!

Konadu Yiadom Gyamfi takes a poetry-led journey through Ghana and the experience of female welder Stella A true story captured through poetry, director and poet Konadu Yiadom Gyamfi follows the journey of Stella, a female welder from Uganda. Shot in Ghana, the film showcases the profound impact of faith in guiding her towards success in a world that often challenges her path as a woman. “There are so many diverse and captivating stories to be explored within this beautiful and complex continent but we don’t often hear the stories of women from their own mouths. Platforming stories like Stella’s is how we start moving forward in portraying Africa and its people.” Defying expectations through her resilience and passionate dedication to her craft, Stella transcended early challenges she faced by entering into a program for young women, now a working welder in spite of societal beliefs regarding women’s roles. Evolving over several months of close collaboration between Stella and Gyamfi, the film illustrates Stella's life and the local landscape through insightful conversations tracing her path into welding, lensing a remarkable reality that confronts narratives on African women that strip away their agency.
