The young lady was forced into early marriage and was sent to Burkina Faso by her husband on condition of working but the economic hardship made her escape without his knowledge.

Could it be a child smuggling syndicate?
Amina after going through alot in Burkina Faso got rescued together with the other victims and were brought into an orphanage for resettlement to their various homes.

Though it was a wise decision, she had no option than to start over again enduring life's difficulties in the slums of Accra.

The one hour thirty minutes feature film has Dagbaani, Akan, Pidgin English as its film language.

Director by Kwabena Gyansah, the documentary kind of movie was screenplayed by Wanda Quartey with its production company being Ananse Entertainment.

The movie has characters such as Asana Alhasan (Amina), Akofa Edjeani as Rukaya, Ajetey Anang (Akatok). Mohammed Halfiz as Seidu as well as Ama K. Abebrese as Joan among others.
