On 15th August at 7:00 p.m. (please note: changed start time!) the Bremen Mission will be screening a Ghanaian film that has won various international cinematic awards and has the power to change perceptions of African cinema. All interested parties are warmly invited.

The film is "The Fisherman" (2024, 100 min.) by Zoey Martinson, shown in its original language with German subtitles. (It explores the balancing act between tradition and modernity in fishing in Ghana.)
"The Fisherman" tells the story of Atta Oko (Ricky Adelayitar), a proud traditional fisherman who has worked his whole life in the waters off the coast of Ghana. When he is suddenly forced into retirement, his world changes in the most unexpected ways — and with the arrival of a rather unusual companion, a talking fish, the story develops into a blend of fantasy and comedy. Accompanied by his unusual fish companion and three loyal "colleagues", Atta Oko sets off on a journey to Accra to apply for a loan from a bank for their own fishing boat. What follows is a whimsical journey full of humour, magic and a colourful glimpse into life in Ghana.

Following the film, we invite you to join us for conversation and exchange.
With snacks and soft drinks.

Admission is free.
