This intimate biography of the late Kwame Bediako, considered one of the great thinkers of the church in Africa, carries important lessons about how the Christian faith is fruitfully grown in African soil. They are illuminated by Kwame’s brilliant reflections on the subject, and also by profoundly moving moments in his own life journey—for example, when studying literature in France in the 1960’s, he finds himself awakened from his drift into atheism to experience God’s loving presence, helping him recover, as he puts it, “my African sense of the wholeness of life” and become “more African than I think I was.”

The film also portrays the legacy Kwame leaves behind in his Akrofi-Christaller Institute for Theology, Mission and Culture in Ghana’s provincial capital of Akropong, a unique academic institution providing opportunities deep cross-cultural study in a vibrant and loving Christian community
