Thousands of women across West Africa have been enslaved by a centuries old practice called “trokosi”. Girls are forced to live and work with priests in religious shrines, for the rest of their lives, to “pay” for the sins of family members. Although the practice has officially been banned in Ghana, it’s still happening there and in other parts of West Africa but on a smaller scale.
Twenty years after she was freed from this practice, Brigitte Sossou Perenyi goes on a journey to understand what trokosi really is and why her family gave her away.

Africa’s colonial overlords brutally stripped it of countless cultural treasures. Now, the fate of these items is being hotly debated in Europe and Africa as well. Some say the pieces should be returned, while others have reservations.
European museums proudly present art and cultural artifacts from all over the world. But until recently, many of them have never considered their own complicity in the brutal ways in which the pieces were acquired. Only slowly are they starting to include the people to whose ancestors these artifacts once belonged in their decisions, although European colonial overlords pillaged and looted them in the first place.
The issue of restitution is taking on a new urgency in Germany, last but not least because of the controversy surrounding Berlin's Humboldt Forum, which is home to non-European collections. It's estimated that more than 1.5 million artifacts from all around the world are held in storage at Germany's ethnological museums. The Linden Museum in Stuttgart alone holds 60 thousand pieces from Africa. How many of them were stolen? And how do museums address the fact that their colonialist collectors had blood on their hands?
This documentary takes an African perspective on some examples, including valuable bronzes from Nigeria, an ornamental prow of a boat from Cameroon, and what is known as the Witbooi Bible from Namibia.
What do the people in the African countries where the pieces originated think about all this? What are the views of researchers, museum directors, artists and curators? What emotions arise when the frequently painful past is stirred up and examined? And how significant is the issue in the context of problems such as poverty, hunger and corruption in former colonies?

More About Divine Prospect and KMB:
Divine Prospect is a proactivist, premiere scholar, ministry organization founder, and leader in his community. At 30 years old he founded Kingdom Harbinger Ministries to be a beacon of hope to his people. The organization's mission is clear from the tagline "Culture, Community, Autonomy". His conviction is that if you restore Israelite culture back to African-Americans they will become a more village-minded close-knit community working towards autonomy. It is through autonomy that the current societal ills that plague people of color can be reduced or eliminated. To him, implementing preventive measures to reduce adverse effects among his people is the only solution. He continues to lobby for justice, equity, education, development, human rights recognition, and cultural preservation in the black community. For his tireless efforts, he's received three awards from peer organizations acknowledging his extensive accomplishments. When he's not inspiring change in his community, he endeavors to bring innovative scholarship in the realm of ancient Pre-Exilic Israelite culture and delivering philanthropic programs and services such as credit repair and naturopathic health education to the less fortunate.
