This program focuses on the western African countries of Mali, Ghana, and Nigeria. In Bamako, Ségou, and Djenné, Jonathan Dimbleby learns how mopeds are moving Mali into a better future; meets a traditional wedding singer whose songs are uncustomarily female-empowering; watches enterprising sand-diggers at work in the Niger River; and visits the intricate Djenné mosque. In Kumasi and Accra, he views the Ghanaian Akwasidae Festival; spends time with the progressive King of the Ashanti; stops by the set of the reality TV show Soccer Academy; and attends an important fashion show. And in and around Lagos, he tours a Nigerian-owned and -operated cement-producing plant and meets a pair of homegrown hip-hop stars. A Fresh One Production in Association with Dimbleby Partners for BBC. A part of the series An African Journey with Jonathan Dimbleby. (Portions in other languages with English subtitles, 59 minutes)
