FOKN Bois Star in Ghana Is The Future

Ghana Is The Future is a cinematic short focusing on Ghanaian prank rap aficionados the FOKN Bois. Equal parts satirical commentary and video diary, the film follows the ever charismatic Wanlov and M3NSA as they provide humorous insight into their creative process and showcase their unique approach to freedom of expression in Ghana. The dynamic duo also flip the script on the “foreign aid for Africa” narrative as they attempt to raise money on the streets of Accra to alleviate America’s financial woes. The mini doc is part of Sound Translations, an upcoming film and multimedia series by Peter Guyer and Thomas Burkhalter, and though it's not the FOKN Bois' first foray into film, (who can forget Coz Ov Moni 1 & 2?), Ghana Is The Future will give neophytes, critics and diehard fans alike a closer look into what makes M3NSA and Wanlov tick. Check it out below, and find more information about the "XL Teaser" here.
