Children of the Mountain

Directed by Priscilla Anany

With Rukiyat Masud, Adjetey Anang, Bex, Akofa Edjeani Asiedu and Grace Omaboe

Against the picturesque Ghanaian backdrop, Children of the Mountain is an honest exploration of a mother’s will in the face of much adversity. When her baby is born with a cleft lip, cerebral palsy, and Down syndrome, Essuman is led to believe that she has a ‘dirty womb.’ Her promising future as a wife and mother is shattered as her lover disowns her and the community eyes her with suspicion.
