Exploring the 'Stateless' Reality for Generations Born in Ghana Town, Gambia

Uncovering the struggles of Ghanaian descendants living in a small Gambian village, as they face a future without proper identification and legal status.
Ghana Town, a small village in Gambia, was founded decades ago by Ghanaian fishermen seeking a new home. Today, their descendants continue to live in this community, but many face an uncertain future as they languish without official identification documents.
The village, located on the banks of the Gambia River, is a tight-knit community where generations of Ghanaians have called home. However, the lack of proper legal status and identity papers has created a stateless existence for many of its inhabitants.
