Native Son
Ghana, USA R: Blitz the Ambassador / Terence Nance, 21min.

Native Sun is a short film that features all new music from Blitz the Ambassador's second studio album of the same name. Directed by Terence Nance and Blitz the Ambassador, the film follows Mumin, a precocious young boy who makes the long trip to Accra from his home in the Ghana’s rural northern region. He leaves having just experienced his mothers death, her last words to him a directive to travel to Accra and find the father he has never met. Along the journey he experience’s Ghana as only a child can and in so doing expands our view of what the continent is and what it will be.
