As African Election is a feature-length documentary set against the backdrop of the 2008 presidential elections in Ghana, West Africa. Director Jarreth Merz followed the political parties, party operatives and citizens for almost three months, and gained an insider’s view of the political, economic and social forces at work in Ghana.
There are twists and turns to An African Election, which takes us on a rare behind the scenes look at political electioneering in Africa and at the larger-than-life politicians battle to win the high-stakes political contest.
