Hanna from Ghana

I once read a novel by a white reporter who is living in South Africa. It was about a fair haired little girl who was adopted by white South Africans who admired the Nazi regime. Some day they had to face that the little girl is Jewish, which caused that their behaviour turned against the girl. She from now on looked for friendship and support with the black people around.

However, this intro scene is not about this book, but about a story I have thought out myself, inspired by the book and people I know from Africa. The heroine of the story is a white girl growing up in a small village in Ghana.

You can see the hands of an adult woman starting to tell her story.

Juxtapose the Visible to the Audible

Create a simple but artful video. Take a photograph of a detail of a person (eye, mouth, hand, feet) and use a video editing software to combine the picture with a narration that juxtaposes the image (male adult mouth says with a child’s voice “I am Hans from the fairy tale just around the corner.”). Make people think of something (The example may mean that adults have childlike, imaginative parts inside.).
