Searching for Taid
film

Court 15'
Nigeria 1996

This short documentary film tells the story of her brother's search for his Welsh roots. Edore Okpako, a mixed race Nigerian, is a smart, funny, attractive young man curious about his long dead Welsh grandfather, who he never met. All he has is a tattered photograph of a severe-looking man in a police uniform. The search takes him and us in some unexpected areas. There is no joyous reunion or moment of sudden revelation. Instead as Edore tries to connect the dots in his mixed heritage, the film gently probes at the certainties underlying family mores and finds them fluid and inconclusive.


(15 min., 1996) Branwen Okpako (Allemagne/Nigéria)
