By inviting members of the West African diaspora in London to comment on portraits from a collection of colonial ethnographic photographs taken in West Africa between 1909 and 1915, the film highlights the plurality of contemporary perspectives on these images. Some discern the imprint of colonial violence, while others perceive signs of optimism, resilience, or unexpected forms of identification, thus complicating any single interpretation of these photographs.

Their work is risky and dangerous, potentially fatally so, as they thrust themselves into the middle of chaotic clashes between forces backed by the government (including Inkatha Zulu warriors) and those in support of Mandela's African National Congress.
