Nakom is the first movie produced in Ghana’s Kusaal language, made by directorial duo T.W. Pittman and Kelly Daniela Norris after the former’s Peace Corps stint in the village of Nakom. Filmed in Nakom and starring non-actor villagers, the film follows Iddrisu (Jacob Ayanaba) as his father’s death forces him away from the modernized world of a med student and back to his farming village home.

The subject carries such a wealth of inherent style that the camera barely has to do anything. A casually beautiful film, it takes your breath unexpectedly with great swatches of bright green crops or the midnight tracking of a moonlit bicycle ride.
