Joseph, Margaret & I

Joesph, Maraget, and I v2.png
 

Through vulnerability, healing and forgiveness we see a Ghanaian family process the effects of alcoholism on their family, each person in their own way.

Initially a film about the filmmaker’s parents’ immigration journey from Ghana to Canada and how that impacted their life, the film takes a life of its own and becomes a story of forgiveness and healing of Joseph’s substance abuse with his wife Margaret and daughter, Valerie.
