CITIZEN KWAME
“Citizen Kwame” is a Kafkaesque film about travel visas and brain drain in Africa. It tells the story of Kwame, an ambitious African man who wants to travel outside his country. However, he must first obtain a visa from a white Western gatekeeper who controls movements in and out of the house. It is only with the help of a newly acquired white Western girlfriend that he succeeds.
“This film explores universal themes such as freedom of movement, family and friendship, in a way that is meant to make the audience reflect on them," ~ Yuhi Amuli
