Roots: Reconnecting Ghana and The Bahamas | Official Trailer | Coming Soon

Roots: Reconnecting Ghana and The Bahamas is a documentary film by Michael Pateman and Justice Baidoo, featuring Michael Pateman and Christopher Davis.

This film follows a journey across history, memory, culture, and DNA to explore the deep connections between The Bahamas and Ghana.

For generations, African-Bahamians have carried cultural traditions whose origins were shaped by the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, survival, and resistance. Roots looks at those connections through Junkanoo, family history, oral tradition, archival research, and genetic ancestry, asking what it means to reconnect with Africa after centuries of separation.

Filmed in The Bahamas and Ghana, Roots explores the living links between Bahamian identity and the wider African Diaspora, including the historical memory of Jan Kwaw, John Canoe traditions, and the cultural threads that continue to shape Bahamian life today.

Coming Soon.
