A letter to Geldof

Bob Geldof visited Ghana for the TV series Geldof in Africa and wrote about it in the accompanying book, describing his crowning as the Chief of Development in a town called Ajumako-Bisease. This documentary follows in Geldof’s footsteps one year on, and finds a town still waiting to hear from him. A timely reflection on the meaning of promises, the role of celebrity, and the true impact of “awareness campaigns” that leave those we are meant to better understand with nothing but shattered dreams. This year it’s the 50th anniversary of Ghana’s independence from British colonial rule; for the full story – a 28-minute documentary now available on DVD – please visit our website at www.worldwrite.org.uk/lettertogeldof/buydvd.html
