Nana Means King


Nana Means King is a 2015 Ghanaian film directed and produced by Nana Obiri Yeboah.

Plot

Nana Kwame, a Ghanaian illegal immigrant working in the UK who lost everything to betrayal, finds himself launched on a personal odyssey of self-discovery. Stripped of nearly all material possession, a place to live, and even his dreams of glory, he must find his way through the unfamiliar terrain of the displaced and invisible. It is in this hour of darkness, at his most vulnerable, that his life takes an unexpected turn when he finds beauty and love growing in the concrete wasteland. Through the mirror that is Shauna, he quickly realizes the past can be a prison we create for our own minds. It is only by helping to free Shauna from her prison that he is eventually freed from his own.
