Dir. Edward Lawrenson - made with Killian Doherty - 30min - 2018 - UK, Ireland - Languages: English, Mano - Subtitles available: English, French.

An architect and filmmaker from Europe visit Yekepa, a town in the remote highlands of Liberia, once a thriving mining community, now decaying and desolate: a concrete ruin in the West African bush.

Exploring Yekepa, these researchers discover through its buildings a story of the promise of prosperity and forgotten injustices. A film about architecture, about the remnants of colonialism, and the spiritual cost of industrial mining.
