'White Volta' is a story of child labor and poverty in Ghana and one man’s campaign to change it. The film follows former child slave, Annan, as he returns to his roots to bring a better future to children trafficked for unpaid fishing work and shift local people’s opinions on child slavery.

Yeji, Buipe and its surrounding villages along the Volta River are the destinations for most of the children trafficked for fishing work in Ghana.

This first documentary feature by Timothy Edzeani Doh will record the investigation of Annan, as he journeys from a small fishing town in southern Ghana to Yeji in northern Ghana on a mission to identify, retrieve, rehabilitate and reunite three trafficked children and their families.

'White Volta' is supported by the Jan Vrijman Fund, Goteborg International Film Festival Fund, and PUMA.Creative Catalyst Award by Channel4 Britdoc Foundation.
