The Blooms of Banjeli
This film documents the attempt by the filmmaker and two historians to recreate the traditional iron smelting techniques (which are no longer used) of the village of Banjeli in Togo. This process sheds light on the technology, rituals, and gendered prohibitions associated with iron-smelting in the region over time.
