    Flying Through Water

    “By the time you get this, I will be far away. It is cowardly, I know, but I cannot see your faces and walk away. Please forgive me, knowing that I have gone to make a better life for us all.”

    Sena lives his life in rural Ghana as many teenagers do: going to school, playing football, and working on the family farm. But as poverty slowly pushes his family to the brink, he’s ready to do almost anything.

    When a larger-than-life stranger arrives in town to lure young people away with the promise of a better future, Sena is tempted. What follows is a journey that will take him far from home and those he loves, where he’ll need to use everything he’s ever learnt if he’s going to make it back alive.

    The Kaya Girl

    In a bustling market in Ghana’s capital city, the lives of two very different girls collide. Neither of them will ever be the same.

    Abena is spending her summer vacation working at her auntie’s shop in Makola Market, a place she and her wealthy friends would typically never go. She would sooner be found at the mall. Faiza is a Muslim migrant worker from the North who makes her living in the market as a porter, carrying goods in a bowl balanced on her head.

    When the two girls meet, they forge an unlikely and powerful friendship. So different in their experiences, each opens the door to an unseen world for the other—and is forever changed by what they discover. Playing out against an eye-opening backdrop of wealth and poverty, the story of these two teenagers vibrates with unforgettable characters crossing the chasms of difference that divide us—and celebrating the deeper truths that bring the best of friends together.
