Here's the trailer for our 2017 part 1 and 2 Dagbani language feature film, Daliri, or 'opportunity only comes once'. It's about struggles and intrigue among farmers and marketers in Tamale.

I took some farmers on an exchange trip between Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and Ghana. Here's a 9-minute video with English voiceover about what happened. This is a different 8-minute video of the field trip that explores more academic themes, with English subtitles.
