African Election, An
- Synopsis
- For three months documentary filmmakers Jarreth Merz and Kevin Merz followed Nana Akufo-Addo of the right-leaning NNP party and Atta Mills of the left wing NDC party as they went round Ghana, making speeches and giving interviews, in their campaigns for the 2008 presidential elections. The film offers a look into this election and the media coverage of the campaign, as well as the sometimes fragile state of democracy in Africa, where official corruption, difficulties in voting and troubles in vote counting are commonplace.
