Auparavant un Ambassador Hotel de l'ère post-coloniale et du début de l'ère Kwame Nkrumah, le Riviera Beach club a prospéré jusqu'au milieu des années 1970. Cette piscine olympique, désormais délabrée, sert maintenant à d'autres choses que la natation.Guilty landscape. A carefully observed decrepit swimming pool, silently relates a myth from Africa’s traumatic history : a portrait of an abandoned public swimming facility located in Accra, Ghana set on the Riviera. The Riviera at one time was an upscale development, consisting of luxury high-rises and five star hotels. Since the 1970s, the Riviera has fallen into a disheveled state.This short documentary was inspired by afro-futurist myths propagated by the underground Detroit-based band Drexciya. They suggest that Drexciya is a mythical underwater subcontinent populated by the unborn children of African women thrown overboard during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. These children have adapted and evolved to breathe underwater.Mots-clé : Afrique, Ghana, piscine publique, mythe, continent englouti, esclavage, enfantsLiens utiles : http://akosuaadoma.com/artwork/2948371-Drexciya.htmlhttp://www.shortfilmfestival.com/en/programs/special-programme/akosua-adoma-owusu/http://www.clermont-filmfest.com/index.php?&#38;m=106&#38;c=3&#38;id_film=200019140&#38;o=155Où voir ce film : https://vimeo.com/18628047 (bande-annonce)https://vimeo.com/18628047https://vimeo.com/32467385 (extrait)&#160;
