A Ghanaian orphan’s life is turned upside down when he finds out his younger brother has been selected for adoption by an American family.

Set in a small Ghanaian town at the edge of a large landfill site that spills into the ocean, the sons of a fisherman, Sowah and Okai, struggle to cope with loss of their eldest brother who drowned during a fishing expedition. Haunted by his demise, Okai believes their brother is still out there…

Two orphans, Owusu and Adobea, brave the Ghanaian countryside, with one quest in mind: to find their last legitimate parent who would be able to bring back their identities.

"I Like It Here," follows a young man named Takyi, who struggles with his identity as a hybrid of two cultures. Born and raised African-American speaking only English, he also belongs to the richly diverse West African country - Ghana. Attempting to reconnect with his terminally ill Grandfather (who he's named after), he realizes how out of place he is in a society that should be his inheritance. In one life changing taxi ride, we get to the root of his cultural displacement and why he feels he needs to establish a bond with his homeland and his people.
