HTAM - How Things Are Made is a documentary series that highlights the works of African artisans using local ingenuity and methods to make new, valuable and reusable items through the process of recycling or upcycling.

In this Pilot episode, we highlight the work of glass workers who turn various types of discarded glass into traditional Ghanaian glass beads as well other glassware.

They also shed light on cultural and economic significance of the work they do.

Although what they do is on a relatively small scale, we cannot understate the importance of their contribution to fighting the negative implications of climate change and poor waste management across the African continent.
