This hour-long documentary locates the multi-textured variety of Aidoo’s writing in an historical and cultural context\, and charts her pivotal journey through moments of inspiration in a life that spans seven decades\, from colonial Ghana through the tumultuous era of independence\, to a more sober present day Africa where nurturing women’s creative talent remains as difficult as ever. Amina Mama is one of Africa’s leading activist feminist scholars. A former Chair in Gender Studies at the University of Cape Town’s African Gender Institute for 10 years\, she founded the journal Feminist Africa\, has taught courses in African cinema and co-produced The Witches of Gambaga. She is currently on the faculty of Women and Gender Studies at the University of California\, Davis. Free and open to the public. Co-sponsors: African American Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies.
