Overview

This short film by award-winning Director Oyiza Adaba, was shot at Adinkra Crafts Village, Ntonso near Kumasi in Ghana. Ntonso is known as the homeland of the hand dying and stamping of Adinkra symbols on Ghana’s most popular cloth - the Kente. It is also regarded as a beautiful tourist site, that yearly hosts hundreds of thousands of global visitors. The community spirit is felt by visitors, both old and young under the leadership of Peter Boakye, popularly known as Alhaji. In his inherited role as Head of Family, he does his best in continuing a long-handed down tradition.

Ntonso remains a tourist haven, where instructors take time to teach and offer classes about the origins and techniques of Ghana’s ancient symbols. In Ntonso tradition, the men continue to weave, while the women do the dye jobs.
