Nice Doc. The most significant thing is this line: "We missed in Africa, the Industrial Revolution". i have never thought of it that way.
Bye the way, my name is Zulfau and i came to the US from Ghana in 1999. It is so nice to see Ghana getting along. As a child in Suyani, i don't remember ever using the computer.

I do not like the ... ( 5 months ago by k28robinson)
I do not like the first speakers characterization of Ghana's past 10 year history. She says,"They sat and did nothing.". I am sure in a place like Ghana, the people didn't just sit and do nothing not under a military regime. She makes it as if the whole country was on welfare. And as a result, the people became lazy. If I did not know and better, I would thing she is using the same argument a lot racist used to describe Black Americans. I can't believe this clip made into the film.
