Former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have teamed up with American streamer IShowSpeed to bring Ghana’s independence story to the screen in a documentary called The Eyes of Ghana. The film follows Chris Hesse, the Ghanaian cameraman who filmed the country’s independence in 1957 and key moments involving its first president, Kwame Nkrumah. Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Ben Proudfoot, it draws on footage from more than 1,300 reels that Hesse kept for decades. The Obamas are executive producers through Higher Ground Productions, and IShowSpeed is also listed as a producer.
