    This film was sensational. I started to be interested in how celebrity people will deal with a African issue: if they do have a real commitment or they are just abusing an issue to build a good image of themselves.

    I saw lots of news coverage about the 50th anniversary of Ghana's independence. This film will be a good chance to know a real story;what is happening in Ghana behind the ceremony, which other media have never reported.

    I can't believe this man would rope an entire village into his lies to uphold his "image."

    An excellent film, WORLDwrite....it really amazes me that someone would con an entire village and then be praised by people back in the west for their charity work! disgusting!

    To be a leader is not a joke. It comes with lots and lots of responsibilities and its not anybody who can be a leader. I think people should be careful in choosing someone to their leader. What has to the people of Ajumako-Bisease is a typicla example and serves as a caution for us all.

    You see everybody is taking Africa for granted. Celebrities are also exploiting the situation. This is a real lesson for our local leaders not to rely on foreign aid but to rather concentrate on educating the young generation for a better future. The other alternative is that the chief of Ajumako Bisease should start an initiative to mobilize its people in Diaspora to come to help their communities. I hear Paintsil of the Ghana Black Stars has one of the parents from the community. Hei U Biseco people, your village is in ruins, we need your help.
