In the 1960s, Togo-born explorer Tété-Michel Kpomassie set off on a decade-long journey from his home in West Africa to the Arctic, becoming the first African we know of to explore Greenland.
He chronicled his journey in his book, An African in Greenland.
Nigerian-born storytellers, Lola Akinmade and Noo Saro-Wiwa, whose careers were inspired by Kpomassie’s work, teamed up with Swedish videographer Jaråker to follow in Kpomassie’s footsteps, exploring the question: Who gets to tell the story of a place?
