00:00:50,167 --> 00:00:52,542
My father Kojo
had had the same

2
00:00:52,625 --> 00:00:55,917
recurring dream for 7 years.

3
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,625
The dream where the sea
swallows the earth

4
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:00,875
and a raging fire burns.

5
00:01:03,958 --> 00:01:07,500
He never told anybody
about this dream.

6
00:01:07,583 --> 00:01:11,375
He never told anyone it
wasn’t a dream at all.

7
00:01:12,042 --> 00:01:13,917
It was more like a memory.

8
00:01:15,125 --> 00:01:17,917
A tragic memory he could never forget.

9
00:01:19,125 --> 00:01:23,208
My father believed only the water
could cleanse the past.

10
00:01:23,542 --> 00:01:25,375
So before I was born,

11
00:01:25,958 --> 00:01:29,625
he moved to a village surrounded
by nothing but water.

12
00:01:30,083 --> 00:01:32,125
A village far, far away.

13
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:35,750
This is where my story begins.

14
00:02:26,708 --> 00:02:29,042
The village surrounded by water was

15
00:02:29,125 --> 00:02:32,250
like no other place known to man.

16
00:02:32,333 --> 00:02:36,667
Legend has it that the Snail God
carried the people on its shell,

17
00:02:37,083 --> 00:02:39,042
and brought them to the
middle of the lake

18
00:02:39,125 --> 00:02:41,625
where they built their
homes on stilts.

19
00:02:42,542 --> 00:02:44,917
This is where my father
met my mother.

20
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:49,083
It is said that on the
day that they met,

21
00:02:49,542 --> 00:02:52,292
the frogs sang a melody
so beautiful,

22
00:02:52,375 --> 00:02:53,708
the pond lit up

23
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,625
and the flowers bloomed.

24
00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:57,583
Right there and then,

25
00:02:57,958 --> 00:03:00,042
they decided to get married.

26
00:03:09,167 --> 00:03:10,958
The bride price was

27
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:12,667
one bottle of whisky,

28
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:13,958
two bags of yam,

29
00:03:14,375 --> 00:03:16,167
six pieces of wax cloth,

30
00:03:16,458 --> 00:03:17,708
one sewing machine,

31
00:03:17,958 --> 00:03:20,500
and one large calabash
of palm wine.

32
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:25,167
My father sold everything he
owned to pay the bride price.

33
00:03:25,792 --> 00:03:29,625
Not long after that, I was born.

34
00:03:34,125 --> 00:03:35,750
On that night,

35
00:03:36,125 --> 00:03:39,542
my father said he saw
a vision so magical

36
00:03:39,833 --> 00:03:41,667
he couldn’t explain it.

37
00:03:42,208 --> 00:03:43,458
The sky lit up

38
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:46,750
and golden droplets rained
from the heavens.

39
00:03:47,250 --> 00:03:48,417
There I stood,

40
00:03:48,792 --> 00:03:52,000
illuminated by the light that
poured from above.

41
00:03:53,208 --> 00:03:57,000
My father asked all the
soothsayers in our village

42
00:03:57,083 --> 00:03:59,208
and they all confirmed
his vision.

43
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:02,083
I was supposed to
bring prosperity

44
00:04:02,167 --> 00:04:04,250
and good luck to my family.

45
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:09,583
However,

46
00:04:10,042 --> 00:04:12,542
things did not turn
out that way.

47
00:04:31,583 --> 00:04:33,083
So--

48
00:04:34,208 --> 00:04:36,417
If you had the chance
to go to any big city,

49
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:38,625
where would you go?

50
00:04:41,042 --> 00:04:43,083
I don’t know.

51
00:04:45,875 --> 00:04:49,583
Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi,
anywhere.

52
00:04:51,542 --> 00:04:54,458
I don’t want to go anywhere.

53
00:04:54,542 --> 00:04:56,958
I like it here.

54
00:04:57,917 --> 00:05:01,792
So you don’t mind seeing the
same thing everyday?

55
00:05:02,167 --> 00:05:03,125
No.

56
00:05:03,917 --> 00:05:05,667
And you?

57
00:05:07,958 --> 00:05:09,167
Sometimes.

58
00:05:10,792 --> 00:05:13,417
So you are going to leave me?

59
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,042
Why would you say such a thing?

60
00:05:16,833 --> 00:05:19,375
I’m never going to leave you.

61
00:05:19,875 --> 00:05:24,125
If you leave me, I'm going to
turn into the wind,

62
00:05:24,208 --> 00:05:27,875
disappear into thin air
and find you.

63
00:05:29,583 --> 00:05:31,708
You don’t have to turn into the
wind and go anywhere.

64
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:34,333
I won’t leave you.

65
00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:36,667
I promise you.

66
00:05:43,208 --> 00:05:47,375
Sit down and lets go home.
Your mother is waiting.

67
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:35,375
My mother had
lived her whole life on the

68
00:06:35,458 --> 00:06:38,250
village surrounded by water.

69
00:06:38,333 --> 00:06:41,167
She longed to see the world
beyond the lake,

70
00:06:41,625 --> 00:06:44,208
but my father never
had any money.

71
00:06:44,625 --> 00:06:48,083
She grew tired of his empty
promises and decided--

72
00:06:48,375 --> 00:06:49,875
I’m leaving.

73
00:06:51,625 --> 00:06:54,292
So she left and came back.

74
00:06:54,875 --> 00:06:56,708
And left and came back.

75
00:06:57,375 --> 00:06:58,708
And left again.

76
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:01,958
And every time she left,

77
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:06,875
my father waited for her in the
same exact place they first met.

78
00:07:07,250 --> 00:07:08,250
But this time,

79
00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:09,958
No frogs sang,

80
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:12,042
and no flowers bloomed.

81
00:07:20,667 --> 00:07:22,458
What do you think?

82
00:07:25,333 --> 00:07:28,000
We can sell the things
we don't need.

83
00:07:28,417 --> 00:07:30,000
Your outboard motor.

84
00:07:30,083 --> 00:07:33,167
I think we can get a lot of
money if we sold it.

85
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:35,292
You want me to sell my
outboard motor?

86
00:07:35,375 --> 00:07:38,292
Why don't you sell your
sewing machine?

87
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:40,375
But you know this is
what feeds us.

88
00:07:40,458 --> 00:07:43,125
So I don't contribute anything?

89
00:07:51,417 --> 00:07:54,250
I won't sell anything of mine to
move to the big city.

90
00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:56,208
My mind is made up.

91
00:08:02,917 --> 00:08:06,375
I spent most
of my time with my father.

92
00:08:06,792 --> 00:08:10,125
He told me so many
interesting stories.

93
00:08:10,208 --> 00:08:13,792
The beginnings only made sense
if you knew the ending,

94
00:08:14,042 --> 00:08:17,167
and the endings were never
quite what you expected.

95
00:08:17,792 --> 00:08:19,208
And so one day,

96
00:08:19,292 --> 00:08:21,167
just like my father's stories,

97
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:25,208
a blind old man no one had ever
seen came to our village.

98
00:08:25,583 --> 00:08:28,792
He told us he was from
the realm in-between

99
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:30,833
where the sky meets the earth

100
00:08:30,917 --> 00:08:33,750
and people walk upside down.

101
00:08:33,833 --> 00:08:36,083
He said the Crow that
ruled this realm

102
00:08:36,667 --> 00:08:39,375
was trying to capture
the sacred bird

103
00:08:39,667 --> 00:08:44,333
and only a child with a pure
heart could keep the bird safe.

104
00:08:44,708 --> 00:08:47,833
My father did not believe a word
the old man said.

105
00:08:47,917 --> 00:08:48,917
Please-- No.

106
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:51,292
I am trusting you.
Take care of it.

107
00:08:51,375 --> 00:08:55,542
But he didn’t want to
offend him so he let me keep the bird.

108
00:09:04,375 --> 00:09:08,875
That night I dreamt of the Crow
who ruled the realm in-between.

109
00:10:35,083 --> 00:10:37,583
Ama.
Ama.

110
00:10:40,167 --> 00:10:41,875
Ama.
Ama, wake up.

111
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:45,542
Ama. Where is her medicine?

112
00:11:20,667 --> 00:11:23,125
Another stranger visited us.

113
00:11:23,958 --> 00:11:26,250
But this was no
ordinary stranger.

114
00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:30,333
This was my uncle, Kwabena.

115
00:11:42,792 --> 00:11:43,833
Kwabena.

116
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:45,333
Kojo.

117
00:12:06,583 --> 00:12:08,208
So how is mother?

118
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:14,833
That’s why I’m here.

119
00:12:17,417 --> 00:12:18,708
She’s not well.

120
00:12:18,792 --> 00:12:20,208
Esi.

121
00:12:20,292 --> 00:12:21,708
What’s wrong with your food?

122
00:12:22,167 --> 00:12:23,542
I don’t want fufu.

123
00:12:23,625 --> 00:12:25,208
I want rice.

124
00:12:33,542 --> 00:12:34,667
Here you go.

125
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:36,375
Kwabena-- No.

126
00:12:48,958 --> 00:12:51,208
Buy whatever you want.

127
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:49,083
The Crow is here to
capture the Sacred Bird.

128
00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:55,458
Don’t let him take it.

129
00:14:06,125 --> 00:14:08,250
I'll be waiting
for you in the big city.

130
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:13,917
That night my father had the
same dream he has had for 7 years.

131
00:15:14,750 --> 00:15:18,792
But this time he remembered it
exactly as it happened.

132
00:15:19,958 --> 00:15:24,042
It was the night my uncle married
the beautiful bride Adwoah.

133
00:15:24,917 --> 00:15:30,083
People came from far and wide to
witness the spectacular wedding.

134
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,667
Now everybody knew my father
loved Adwoah.

135
00:15:34,917 --> 00:15:37,708
But she chose his older brother,

136
00:15:37,958 --> 00:15:40,708
and it broke my father´s heart.

137
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:45,583
The Vice President went to China

138
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:49,625
with a plan to leverage some
of our gold site deposits

139
00:18:49,708 --> 00:18:52,833
to tackle the program
for industrialization.

140
00:18:52,917 --> 00:18:54,375
This place has changed.

141
00:18:54,458 --> 00:18:56,917
This is where the old filling
station used to be.

142
00:18:58,083 --> 00:18:59,250
That’s moved too?

143
00:18:59,583 --> 00:19:00,417
Oh, long time.

144
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:05,458
...is neither against mining
nor against the Chinese.

145
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:09,875
You see those Chinese men?

146
00:19:11,333 --> 00:19:12,792
They run things now.

147
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:16,750
Everywhere you go,
they are there.

148
00:21:00,208 --> 00:21:01,208
Ama.

149
00:21:02,542 --> 00:21:03,375
Ama.

150
00:21:04,583 --> 00:21:06,958
Ama wake up. I have
something to tell you.

151
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:09,833
Wake up.

152
00:21:10,458 --> 00:21:11,833
Ama.

153
00:21:53,375 --> 00:21:54,625
You are here already.

154
00:21:55,875 --> 00:21:57,958
So you finally told her
what happened.

155
00:22:16,833 --> 00:22:18,250
Can you believe it?

156
00:22:20,625 --> 00:22:22,542
It’s been 7 years.

157
00:22:27,708 --> 00:22:30,875
I’m sure that I’m the luckiest person
right now.

158
00:22:33,958 --> 00:22:38,958
Celebrating my wedding
and funeral anniversary on the same day.

159
00:22:59,750 --> 00:23:01,417
Ah.

160
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:03,250
I forgot.

161
00:23:03,333 --> 00:23:05,708
You don't drink anymore.

162
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,042
Well, I’ll drink for us.

163
00:24:03,458 --> 00:24:06,250
So Alejandro and
Jose are brothers?

164
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:07,917
Yes.

165
00:24:13,833 --> 00:24:16,417
So why are they fighting?

166
00:24:16,792 --> 00:24:20,375
Sometimes brothers
fight each other.

167
00:24:24,333 --> 00:24:27,542
It is I,
your one true love.

168
00:24:28,917 --> 00:24:30,083
He is watching us

169
00:24:35,875 --> 00:24:37,167
Stay away from her.

170
00:24:37,250 --> 00:24:39,125
You took something
from me brother.

171
00:24:39,542 --> 00:24:41,583
It is time for me to take
something back.

172
00:24:42,333 --> 00:24:45,292
I swear, I will kill you.

173
00:24:46,042 --> 00:24:51,792
So when my father and uncle
were children did they fight?

174
00:24:52,042 --> 00:24:53,333
A lot--

175
00:24:53,417 --> 00:24:55,125
When they were children.

176
00:24:55,583 --> 00:24:57,875
One day, if I didn’t arrive early,

177
00:24:57,958 --> 00:25:01,000
your uncle would have
drowned your father.

178
00:25:01,292 --> 00:25:03,583
Jose is
under a lot of stress.

179
00:25:04,208 --> 00:25:05,042
Jose?

180
00:25:05,125 --> 00:25:06,458
It's always about Jose!

181
00:25:07,458 --> 00:25:08,375
What about me?

182
00:25:08,917 --> 00:25:10,833
Do you care about me, Mom?

183
00:25:11,125 --> 00:25:14,708
So will Alejandro and Jose
stop fighting one day?

184
00:25:15,083 --> 00:25:17,375
I don’t think so.

185
00:25:18,333 --> 00:25:19,208
Why?

186
00:25:20,583 --> 00:25:25,167
Because they both love
the same woman.

187
00:25:28,292 --> 00:25:30,917
Oh, really?

188
00:25:44,792 --> 00:25:47,625
Remember where I used to work?

189
00:25:50,042 --> 00:25:52,833
Altra Gold?

190
00:25:54,375 --> 00:25:58,000
I heard they stopped
work a long time ago.

191
00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:00,083
It's true.

192
00:26:01,250 --> 00:26:02,250
But--

193
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:05,667
Before they closed down,

194
00:26:06,333 --> 00:26:08,000
they found gold.

195
00:26:08,333 --> 00:26:10,042
They found a lot of gold.

196
00:26:10,458 --> 00:26:13,458
But they couldn't get all of it
before the company closed down.

197
00:26:13,542 --> 00:26:20,042
So, if you're interested
we can go try there.

198
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:26,375
Altra Gold-- right now?

199
00:26:27,417 --> 00:26:29,958
It sounds dangerous.

200
00:26:30,458 --> 00:26:33,542
I don’t think it's
going to help me.

201
00:26:34,875 --> 00:26:40,042
I'm just looking for something
small to get back on my feet.

202
00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:41,875
Not Altra Gold.

203
00:26:44,667 --> 00:26:46,167
Ok.

204
00:26:48,083 --> 00:26:54,583
It's just an idea. If you're
not interested, no problem.

205
00:27:01,583 --> 00:27:04,417
How many guys work for Apalu?

206
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:07,250
Apalu?

207
00:27:09,708 --> 00:27:13,667
You can find him at
his usual place.

208
00:27:14,250 --> 00:27:15,833
Sisi’s Bar?

209
00:27:42,417 --> 00:27:45,917
Apalu was my father
and uncle’s oldest friend.

210
00:27:46,625 --> 00:27:48,958
They grew up together
in the big city.

211
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:51,417
He had had a tough life.

212
00:27:52,583 --> 00:27:54,083
He never knew his father.

213
00:27:54,542 --> 00:27:56,250
When he was only two months old

214
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,583
His mother abandoned him
in a hotel room and disappeared.

215
00:28:02,208 --> 00:28:04,542
It earned him the
nickname Apalu,

216
00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:07,375
which was the name of the
hotel they found him in.

217
00:28:20,667 --> 00:28:25,833
But Apalu didn’t let any
of this stop him from enjoying life.

218
00:28:26,375 --> 00:28:30,667
He run an illegal mining outfit
that my father used to work for.

219
00:28:31,292 --> 00:28:34,458
Of course he was surprised to
see my father back.

220
00:28:35,708 --> 00:28:38,083
To tell you the truth,

221
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:44,667
since you left, no one
has found much gold.

222
00:28:45,042 --> 00:28:49,042
The chiefs have
sold all the land,

223
00:28:49,125 --> 00:28:53,833
and the Chinese have brought
their heavy duty machines.

224
00:28:53,917 --> 00:28:56,500
We can’t compete with them.

225
00:28:56,833 --> 00:28:59,958
All the polluted rivers
you hear about--

226
00:29:00,042 --> 00:29:01,667
It's them.

227
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:07,458
Father I swear,

228
00:30:07,542 --> 00:30:09,875
the crow came here.

229
00:30:09,958 --> 00:30:11,500
If we don't move,

230
00:30:11,583 --> 00:30:13,750
it will come back to find us.

231
00:30:15,125 --> 00:30:16,583
I don't believe you.

232
00:30:16,667 --> 00:30:18,833
It's just your wild imagination.

233
00:30:33,958 --> 00:30:35,500
Hey-- Hey

234
00:30:37,625 --> 00:30:38,542
I've found some.

235
00:30:38,625 --> 00:30:39,792
You found some?

236
00:30:39,875 --> 00:30:42,000
True. True.
Here it is.

237
00:30:42,375 --> 00:30:43,292
Here it is.

238
00:30:51,167 --> 00:30:53,917
The goods
haven't arrived yet.

239
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,333
What's the reason?

240
00:30:57,500 --> 00:30:59,083
That’s not acceptable.

241
00:30:59,333 --> 00:31:01,417
I owe people money.

242
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:04,250
I have a deal to close.

243
00:31:05,542 --> 00:31:06,375
True.

244
00:31:07,958 --> 00:31:12,000
You have to finalize this operation
the best way possible, okay?

245
00:31:12,958 --> 00:31:14,375
Wait a minute.

246
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,125
400 Ghana cedis.

247
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:18,542
Take it or leave it.

248
00:31:18,625 --> 00:31:19,500
400?

249
00:31:19,583 --> 00:31:20,458
Yes.

250
00:31:20,917 --> 00:31:23,083
Finalize this operation
and let's see what we can do.

251
00:31:23,167 --> 00:31:24,250
We'll take it.

252
00:31:25,042 --> 00:31:27,000
Hold on--

253
00:31:30,875 --> 00:31:32,500
We need to finalize.

254
00:31:39,625 --> 00:31:41,875
Let's see what happens.

255
00:31:45,958 --> 00:31:49,500
Let's finish, by all means,
and finalize.

256
00:31:51,667 --> 00:31:53,667
Let's settle it.

257
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:58,750
Let's settle it.

258
00:32:09,292 --> 00:32:11,417
I told you, that’s
how much they pay.

259
00:32:13,958 --> 00:32:15,333
400.

260
00:32:16,583 --> 00:32:20,792
That money is for me, you and
the rest of the boys to share.

261
00:32:21,625 --> 00:32:23,750
That’s the price these days.

262
00:32:26,292 --> 00:32:31,083
So why did you come to the
village to find me?

263
00:32:35,583 --> 00:32:37,250
No reason.

264
00:32:38,417 --> 00:32:39,917
I missed my little brother.

265
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:44,792
You’ve been gone too long,
brother.

266
00:32:44,875 --> 00:32:46,292
You’ve been gone
for far too long.

267
00:32:48,250 --> 00:32:50,875
Forget about everything that
happened and move forward.

268
00:32:50,958 --> 00:32:53,708
I moved forward.
I moved forward.

269
00:32:53,792 --> 00:32:56,750
You coming back has brought
my mind back to it.

270
00:32:59,333 --> 00:33:01,167
You haven’t moved forward.

271
00:33:01,792 --> 00:33:03,750
You’ve been hiding.

272
00:33:04,125 --> 00:33:05,958
Hiding and moving forward,

273
00:33:06,042 --> 00:33:08,417
There is a difference.
It’s not the same thing.

274
00:33:10,625 --> 00:33:11,917
Kwabena--

275
00:33:12,292 --> 00:33:15,208
Whatever happened, you should
be able to forgive me.

276
00:33:15,292 --> 00:33:19,000
Not a day goes by that
I don’t think about it.

277
00:33:19,542 --> 00:33:20,542
Ah.

278
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:23,542
Brother forget about it.

279
00:33:23,625 --> 00:33:26,292
I won’t forget about it.
I have to say it.

280
00:33:26,583 --> 00:33:29,292
I know what happened
wasn’t right but...

281
00:33:31,792 --> 00:33:33,875
So right now what are
you going to do?

282
00:33:34,625 --> 00:33:36,625
I think about it too.

283
00:33:37,458 --> 00:33:40,375
But what are we going to do?

284
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,292
The person is dead and gone.

285
00:33:43,917 --> 00:33:47,542
There is nothing you can say to
bring her back to life.

286
00:33:48,333 --> 00:33:49,500
You see?

287
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:53,667
So forget about it and
move forward.

288
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:58,583
As for us--

289
00:33:58,667 --> 00:34:01,292
We are waiting for you

290
00:34:01,667 --> 00:34:03,625
to come and join us.

291
00:34:32,458 --> 00:34:33,750
I told you,

292
00:34:33,833 --> 00:34:37,000
I don't believe in those
spiritual things.

293
00:34:39,375 --> 00:34:42,792
Your mother said the
pastor has healing powers.

294
00:34:42,875 --> 00:34:45,917
What's the harm in trying?

295
00:34:47,542 --> 00:34:49,875
My mother is old.

296
00:34:50,375 --> 00:34:54,375
If you told her to sit in church
all day, she would.

297
00:34:55,042 --> 00:34:58,208
Otherwise she just watches
telenovelas.

298
00:34:58,708 --> 00:35:00,542
I will take her.

299
00:35:00,625 --> 00:35:03,833
You can join us if you like.

300
00:35:57,458 --> 00:35:59,625
- Hallelujah.
- Amen.

301
00:35:59,708 --> 00:36:02,708
We are going to talk
a little about Joseph.

302
00:36:03,458 --> 00:36:05,458
- Amen.
- Amen

303
00:36:05,750 --> 00:36:10,042
There's a message
in it that can transform your life.

304
00:36:10,125 --> 00:36:11,333
If your relatives reject you,

305
00:36:11,417 --> 00:36:12,917
and the world turns
it's back on you,

306
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,792
The one true God
will be with you.

307
00:36:14,875 --> 00:36:15,708
Amen.

308
00:36:15,792 --> 00:36:17,250
- Will be with you.
- Amen.

309
00:36:17,583 --> 00:36:19,500
- Will be with you.
- Amen.

310
00:36:20,417 --> 00:36:27,042
24. They took him and
put him in a hole.

311
00:36:27,125 --> 00:36:31,458
The hole was deep but
there was no water in it.

312
00:36:32,167 --> 00:36:35,083
And they sat down to eat.

313
00:36:35,417 --> 00:36:36,750
- Amen.
- Amen.

314
00:36:36,917 --> 00:36:38,875
- Amen.
- Amen

315
00:36:38,958 --> 00:36:43,583
There were some
travelers passing by.

316
00:36:44,125 --> 00:36:48,708
And when they got to
where the brothers were,

317
00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:52,375
they had a sheep
they wanted to sell.

318
00:36:52,458 --> 00:36:54,042
I mean Joseph.

319
00:36:54,125 --> 00:36:57,333
So they took Joseph out of the
hole and sold him

320
00:36:57,583 --> 00:37:02,083
to be a slave in another land.
Beloved, listen.

321
00:37:02,167 --> 00:37:04,833
You will
not be a slave till the end.

322
00:38:17,708 --> 00:38:21,333
To be a slave in
another land. Beloved, listen.

323
00:38:21,417 --> 00:38:22,875
You will not be a
slave till the end.

324
00:38:22,958 --> 00:38:24,333
Amen.

325
00:39:06,625 --> 00:39:09,792
I think it was the Crow.

326
00:39:12,292 --> 00:39:13,958
The Crow?

327
00:39:14,042 --> 00:39:17,833
The Crow is who killed the
Sacred Bird.

328
00:39:20,667 --> 00:39:23,750
What do you think the Crow
really wants?

329
00:39:24,708 --> 00:39:26,417
I don’t know.

330
00:39:29,625 --> 00:39:36,458
When you find out what the Crow
wants, come and tell me.

331
00:39:42,250 --> 00:39:44,250
Don't touch that cockroach.

332
00:40:14,292 --> 00:40:16,042
- Really?
- Yes.

333
00:40:17,708 --> 00:40:20,917
Why didn't they test it
before they took it?

334
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,292
I tell you--

335
00:40:22,375 --> 00:40:25,333
Almost 100 thousand U.S. dollars.

336
00:40:25,417 --> 00:40:29,333
They exchanged for
the fake gold.

337
00:40:29,417 --> 00:40:32,833
And you know why they
couldn't go to the Police?

338
00:40:32,917 --> 00:40:36,583
Because they didn't have a mining license.

339
00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:47,583
These white people are not smart at all.

340
00:40:48,792 --> 00:40:50,167
It's surprising.

341
00:41:36,250 --> 00:41:37,250
Now what?

342
00:41:37,625 --> 00:41:38,875
Forget Apalu.

343
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,583
He's a coward. Don't mind him.

344
00:41:41,667 --> 00:41:43,333
What he's saying is true.

345
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:45,375
I don't think it's a good
idea to go back.

346
00:41:48,833 --> 00:41:50,000
Kojo.

347
00:41:50,875 --> 00:41:53,417
This is our last chance
to go to Altra Gold.

348
00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:57,625
Our last chance.

349
00:41:57,875 --> 00:42:02,333
I already told you, Altra Gold
is too dangerous.

350
00:42:05,125 --> 00:42:06,333
Look--

351
00:42:06,583 --> 00:42:08,292
What are you afraid of?

352
00:42:08,375 --> 00:42:11,250
If we go and find gold-- fine.

353
00:42:11,875 --> 00:42:16,000
If we don't find any-- we don't
lose anything.

354
00:42:20,292 --> 00:42:22,125
It's dangerous.

355
00:42:22,208 --> 00:42:23,583
It doesn't matter.

356
00:42:23,667 --> 00:42:25,500
If you're brave you
will find some.

357
00:42:27,167 --> 00:42:29,333
I know there's gold there.

358
00:42:41,542 --> 00:42:43,208
I'll think about it.

359
00:42:43,292 --> 00:42:45,583
You’ll think about it?

360
00:43:09,375 --> 00:43:13,125
When you think about it--
Remember.

361
00:44:01,542 --> 00:44:03,250
No, no don’t worry.

362
00:44:03,333 --> 00:44:04,333
He's my brother.

363
00:44:05,542 --> 00:44:07,167
He is not going to
do anything.

364
00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:09,792
Calm down.

365
00:44:11,708 --> 00:44:12,542
Maria

366
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:19,000
How deep do you think it is?

367
00:47:21,542 --> 00:47:22,625
I don't know.

368
00:47:25,667 --> 00:47:26,708
Did you bring a rope?

369
00:47:31,125 --> 00:47:32,458
Please, Kwabena.

370
00:47:33,583 --> 00:47:35,458
Please, Kwabena.
Please, help me.

371
00:49:22,667 --> 00:49:25,167
My mother and I
went to the bar where my father

372
00:49:25,250 --> 00:49:27,792
and uncle would usually meet.

373
00:49:27,875 --> 00:49:29,542
There we saw Apalu.

374
00:49:29,625 --> 00:49:30,958
Good evening.

375
00:49:31,042 --> 00:49:32,292
We asked him if he had seen

376
00:49:32,375 --> 00:49:35,375
my father and he said no.

377
00:49:35,458 --> 00:49:37,750
But when I asked him
about my Uncle,

378
00:49:38,125 --> 00:49:40,208
he grew very confused.

379
00:49:40,292 --> 00:49:44,125
He said my Uncle had been
gone for seven years.

380
00:50:28,833 --> 00:50:30,500
I don't know if
it happens like that.

381
00:50:30,583 --> 00:50:31,708
I don't know what to say.

382
00:50:31,792 --> 00:50:35,000
You wanna come home,
we'll talk. Okay?

383
00:50:36,250 --> 00:50:38,250
I will call you later.

384
00:50:38,833 --> 00:50:39,792
I will call you.

385
00:50:40,625 --> 00:50:41,833
Alright, bye.

386
00:50:47,792 --> 00:50:51,333
We will send a
search party to find him.

387
00:50:51,417 --> 00:50:55,667
But it's very difficult work.

388
00:50:57,792 --> 00:50:59,208
Um.

389
00:51:01,375 --> 00:51:07,375
We have to motivate the boys.

390
00:51:07,458 --> 00:51:09,708
You understand?

391
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,292
You have something small?

392
00:51:16,375 --> 00:51:19,083
Sir, I don't have any money.

393
00:51:19,167 --> 00:51:20,125
Bring your voice down.

394
00:51:20,208 --> 00:51:21,875
Why...

395
00:51:21,958 --> 00:51:24,417
Why are you being so loud? Hmm?

396
00:51:31,792 --> 00:51:34,833
You don't have anything--
small?

397
00:51:34,917 --> 00:51:37,375
I don't have anything, Sir.

398
00:51:37,792 --> 00:51:38,625
Really?

399
00:51:38,708 --> 00:51:40,417
I don't have anything.

400
00:51:41,375 --> 00:51:42,375
Okay.

401
00:52:01,250 --> 00:52:05,167
We just heard from our reporter

402
00:52:05,250 --> 00:52:08,000
about the illegal miner
who went missing.

403
00:52:08,083 --> 00:52:10,083
The sad news is that

404
00:52:10,375 --> 00:52:11,708
by the time they found him,

405
00:52:12,125 --> 00:52:13,375
He was dead.

406
00:53:38,625 --> 00:53:40,167
Okay. Okay.

407
00:53:41,958 --> 00:53:45,583
Okay. One... two...

408
00:53:59,708 --> 00:54:00,708
Okay.

409
00:54:27,708 --> 00:54:30,667
No-- I can’t die here.

410
00:57:26,833 --> 00:57:30,458
Word spread fast
about my father's disappearance.

411
00:57:30,833 --> 00:57:32,958
The radio and newspapers
said the police were

412
00:57:33,042 --> 00:57:36,292
not doing enough
to find him.

413
00:57:36,375 --> 00:57:38,000
The police called
in one of their

414
00:57:38,083 --> 00:57:41,417
best detectives from
a neighboring town.

415
00:57:41,500 --> 00:57:44,583
His name was Detective Koomson.

416
00:57:46,375 --> 00:57:48,583
He did everything by the book.

417
00:57:49,250 --> 00:57:52,875
Within 24 hours he had
arrested the Chinese men

418
00:57:52,958 --> 00:57:56,708
he believed were responsible
for my father's disappearance.

419
00:58:02,042 --> 00:58:06,333
But, by the time my mother
and I arrived at the station,

420
00:58:07,292 --> 00:58:09,375
the Chinese men had
been processed,

421
00:58:09,833 --> 00:58:12,625
released, and already
left the country.

422
00:58:23,792 --> 00:58:25,542
On the 7th night,

423
00:58:25,625 --> 00:58:27,625
I dreamt about my father.

424
00:58:28,583 --> 00:58:33,333
I finally realized the true meaning
of the vision he had when I was born.

425
00:58:34,083 --> 00:58:36,583
The night the sky illuminated,

426
00:58:36,667 --> 00:58:39,333
and golden droplets rained
from the heavens,

427
00:58:40,208 --> 00:58:43,667
I was the only one who could
save my father.

428
01:01:17,042 --> 01:01:18,250
Uncle Kwabena--

429
01:01:18,333 --> 01:01:20,417
Are you the Crow?

430
01:01:21,292 --> 01:01:24,583
I am whatever your mind tells you I am.

431
01:01:27,750 --> 01:01:29,708
Where are you hiding my father?

432
01:01:31,042 --> 01:01:33,375
Your father is where he has always been.

433
01:01:34,667 --> 01:01:36,792
Where people who suffer from guilt are.

434
01:01:40,708 --> 01:01:43,167
Me and Adwoa had an accident.

435
01:01:43,667 --> 01:01:46,167
I said, where are you hiding my father?

436
01:01:47,292 --> 01:01:51,250
Me and Adwoa had an accident
on the day of my wedding.

437
01:01:52,667 --> 01:01:54,875
That night we died.

438
01:01:55,292 --> 01:01:56,833
Your father was
supposed to die too.

439
01:01:58,083 --> 01:01:59,833
But he lived.

440
01:02:00,750 --> 01:02:03,792
We have waited for
him for a while.

441
01:02:03,875 --> 01:02:07,917
We are now at the land
where the sky meets the earth,

442
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,208
and people walk upside down.

443
01:02:11,292 --> 01:02:13,208
If your father is not with us,

444
01:02:13,292 --> 01:02:15,625
we can’t cross into
the afterlife.

445
01:02:16,250 --> 01:02:18,542
So right now we are
waiting for him.

446
01:02:18,625 --> 01:02:21,958
We are waiting for your father
to come and join us.

447
01:02:24,125 --> 01:02:27,208
So if you are dead,
how are you alive?

448
01:02:28,042 --> 01:02:29,667
I am dead.

449
01:02:30,375 --> 01:02:32,458
But in your father's
mind, I am still alive.

450
01:02:32,542 --> 01:02:35,792
But the truth is, I am
not among the living.

451
01:02:35,875 --> 01:02:39,375
Your father jumped into
the mine all by himself.

452
01:02:41,375 --> 01:02:43,375
What mine?

453
01:02:45,708 --> 01:02:46,708
Hmm.

454
01:02:49,708 --> 01:02:52,042
I can’t tell you.

455
01:02:52,333 --> 01:02:56,375
But if you want to
save your father,

456
01:02:56,458 --> 01:02:58,708
then time is running out.

457
01:02:58,792 --> 01:03:03,333
You will have to hurry up
because you don’t have time.

458
01:03:03,875 --> 01:03:05,917
Where is the Sacred Bird?

459
01:05:18,708 --> 01:05:20,625
I realized,

460
01:05:21,083 --> 01:05:23,083
the Crow was my Uncle,

461
01:05:23,792 --> 01:05:25,917
and the Sacred Bird
was my father.

462
01:05:27,292 --> 01:05:28,667
I set it free,

463
01:05:29,625 --> 01:05:32,625
and it journeyed through
time and space,

464
01:05:33,042 --> 01:05:34,917
through earth and sky,

465
01:05:35,583 --> 01:05:38,250
until it showed me
where my father was.

466
01:06:53,333 --> 01:06:54,333
Father!

467
01:07:17,458 --> 01:07:18,667
Sir, it's him.

468
01:07:20,792 --> 01:07:22,333
You won't believe it.

469
01:08:36,750 --> 01:08:37,750
Father,

470
01:08:38,375 --> 01:08:41,583
I know what the Crow wants.

471
01:08:41,667 --> 01:08:48,042
He wants you to come
and join him.

472
01:08:48,125 --> 01:08:50,208
Don't go.

473
01:08:50,458 --> 01:08:52,208
Father don't go.

474
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:55,667
Father don't go.

475
01:08:56,458 --> 01:08:58,167
Don't go.

476
01:08:59,583 --> 01:09:01,167
Don't go.

477
01:09:40,917 --> 01:09:44,375
That night my father died.

478
01:09:47,708 --> 01:09:50,917
I could hear the crows
everywhere.

479
01:09:52,292 --> 01:09:55,042
There were no celebrations.

480
01:09:55,125 --> 01:09:56,833
No triumphant chants.

481
01:10:00,417 --> 01:10:02,958
Just a solemn welcome for my father

482
01:10:03,292 --> 01:10:06,208
by those waiting to cross
into the afterlife.

483
01:11:17,958 --> 01:11:20,667
Whenever I think about my father,

484
01:11:21,042 --> 01:11:23,792
I think about the good times we had.

485
01:11:24,083 --> 01:11:26,208
The stories he told me,

486
01:11:26,583 --> 01:11:29,583
and the world full of magic
he introduced me to.

487
01:11:30,875 --> 01:11:34,042
And I know he is always with me.
