OPENING DAY

Release day has arrivedCheck your local cinema for showtimes.

Release dateOct 28, 2026

93-year-old documentarian Chris Hesse—personal cinematographer to forgotten African icon Kwame Nkrumah—races against blindness and time to rescue and repatriate a secret trove of over 1,300 films that captured the birth of African independence in the fifties and sixties. Yet unseen by the public, these films may not only rewrite Ghanaian and African history—but world history itself.

Countdown to midnight in America/New York on release day, not a specific showtime. Dates may change.
