WHEN HARMATTAN BLOWS
POLISH TITLE: GDY POWIEJE HARMATTAN
Barbara is 25 and lives in Accra. As an 8-year-old girl, she shared the fate of thousands of Ghanaian children who were forced into slave labour by their own parents. For years, day in day out, she had to live in the world filled with abuse, violence and fear. She survived thanks to the help of her eldest brother and her friend, father Piotr. Later, despite the trauma suffered, she financially supported her entire family. However, when their expectations start rising, Barbara and her brother decide to go home. This visit is also an excuse for Barbara to ask her parents some questions that have bothered her for her entire life.
