Three Ghanaian women wake up in a strange land. Each is from a different generation, their experiences reflecting three defining moments in their country’s history, but their souls are connected through space, time, and ancestral heritage. As each woman discovers where she is, seeks to find meaning in both that of her own life and that of their young nation, and asks what the future might hold, one thing is very clear: hope must prevail.

THE WIZARD OF THE KREMLIN
Director: Olivier Assayas
Olivier Assayas plunges the viewer into the final years of the Soviet Union and the start of the Russian Federation with confidence and precision in this political thriller which premiered at this year's Venice Film Festival. Paul Dano leads a tightly-calibrated cast as the fictional Vadim Baranov, a theater director-turned-TV executive, spin doctor and Kremlin kingmaker to Vladimir Putin (played by Jude Law, continuing his recent career resurgence) as the Russian premier makes his unstoppable rise to power.
