JOLT
JOLT is a short film written and directed by Osei Kwame, a filmmaker and voice actor currently based in the Netherlands. Formerly rooted in Accra, Ghana, Kwame brings a deeply personal and culturally resonant lens to this project.
Set against the emotional tension of a father-son conversation, JOLT explores the unspoken burdens of African parenting—probing themes of forgiveness, masculinity, fatherhood, and the fractured legacy of generational trauma. As the characters navigate the remnants of their strained relationship, the film challenges traditional socio-cultural norms and asks: What does it take to heal when silence has defined love for too long?
A love for stories.
Real stories fascinate me and Documentary Filmmaking always gives us that opportunity to see diverse perspectives in the most interesting way. No two stories are ever the same.

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.
