120 hours on a Galamsey field

Join us on a powerful journey to the Western Region of Ghana as we shed light on the devastating impact of galamsey, illegal small-scale mining, on the pristine landscapes and communities in the area. In this eye-opening documentary, we dive deep into the heart of the galamsey crisis, focusing specifically on the pollution of the Ankobrah River.

Through firsthand interviews with local residents, environmental activists, and experts, we uncover the stark realities of galamsey and its consequences on the Ankobrah River, once a lifeline for both humans and wildlife. We witness the devastation caused by toxic chemicals, sedimentation, and deforestation, and learn about the environmental, social, and economic ramifications that ripple through the region.
Join us on this transformative journey as we stand alongside the affected communities, uncover the truth, and shed light on the urgent need for change. Together, we can make a difference.
