- Family of Ghana SummaryPortrays life of a young fisherman and hi./ia met in Ghana and the desire of the young man to adopt new ways of fishing. Shows scenes of family activities, religious observances and marketing.
Examines the fundamental political ideas of fascism: rejection of the individual and deification of the state, distrust of reason and belief in force, and renunciation of freedom in favor of security. Uses documentary film footage to show the environment in which fascism rose in Germany and Italy immediately following World War I, and the disastrous results it broughil its defeat in 1945. Points out that fascism was not necessarily eradicated by World War II.

Life at that time was all about nothing but simple survival. No greed for sinful wealth, community cared for each other.
Life was so simple
So surprised how our English accent has changed over the years. I love the accent. Can listen to it all day
Same
Proud Ewe and Akan! Love my people 🇹🇬🇬🇭
That’s my grandfather !!!!! Fui Nyamadi!! 🇬🇭🥰🥰🥰

Hello, which part of Ghana is this?
Are you the girl sitting on the ground in the compound at the beginning?
@@emberurban it is the Volta Region. Land of the Ewe tribe. This town seems to be ‘Keta’
Tears in my eyes. The beauty, the simplicity and the serenity. What do I see today.
Beautiful people, proud Ghanaian ❤❤❤❤. It’s sad our politicians are bring division amongst us.
love this, I can relate...remind me of life in the Caribbean "back in the day" as we say...my uncles used to fish... us kids help pull the fishing net....I also remember market days...this is my culture....the net was called a fry net, used for catching fries and jacks. My grand mother and aunt used to knit those. There was always one being made or repaired. i have to learn how to make one, wish i learned back then. thanks for sharing.
Great to know that some of the Afrikan culture survived the brutality of enslavement so that it lives on today in the Diaspora.

These programs are so addictive and educational. I cannot get enough of them.
When life was simpler, they dont look stressed. The black and white portrayal misleads us to think they were living in dark times but i think their lives were rich with the colors of happiness, simplicity and content.
Great captions on the lorries 🚚
😂 WEEP NO MORE
Service before

Wonderful beaches untouched Absolutely beautiful Ghana everything is so clean
Voltarians are known to be clean! Especially their beaches and body of water!!!!
Brilliant! Thanks for letting us in on a bit of how life was in Ghana, about 70years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it,
I miss Ghana! Thanks for posting this!
Where do u live
Proud to be Ewe.
The good old days, when there was no greed, selfishness and others. There was love for one another (Ga's ,Ewe's, Akan and other tribes).
The market scene is almost the same as today! The school style is almost the same too. So we've remained the same, more or less.
U and who?
@@montannamontanna4408 ok whitee
4:04 omg who else understands and speaks ewe?

@@jonesanku2357 dope,same

Thank you very much for posting this. My mom and I enjoyed every minute.
Thanks for giving us the real History of Gold Coast now Ghana. It’s very important to let the new generation to know about our history especially in particular in videos, films etc it’s very unique. Thanks once again 😅
Is propaganda.. This is Mcgraw Hill Canada. U think they will tell u anything Good about Ghana ? Is a JOKE .. i’m from Ghana and is true in a way but is minority fishermen lifestyle of colonial Ghana
i love everybit of this movie...I am simply short of words to express how feel, but i love it so much
27:20 - it is something about your mother's love that gives you the strength to move forward.
So true, Scheena. I feel the same way.
my mom gave me money to build a house in my Fathers hometown but my dad gave me a Forest... can't really choose which one loves me but we are 1 boy 2 girls.
She's his wife, not his mom.
I will like to visit Ghana,God willing 😃
Where do you live
@@benjaminjohnsonboston I live in Nigeria.🙄
@@joelnwaomu1340 you should come bro
This is a great film! Thank you for posting!
Fantastic! Thank you!
So at 24:24 that's where the Funky Chicken dance that I used to do in the 1970s came from!
Excellent vid. It has a peaceful vibe.
Need more of this😊, very educational
Wonderful video! Great family structure!!
Interesting video. Authenticity distorted when an ewe woman is called Adzoa, her Ga husband is Kwame and she speaks Ga with her brother
@kukuakukua Authenticity isn't distorted. There are Ewes with Akan names simply by way of domination by the Akwamus. There are Gas descended from Akyems, Aburas and Akwamu who therefore use Akan names. If Adzoa (Or Adzo) lived in Accra or a nearby town then she would have learned to speak Ga, especially if she married into a Ga family, then it is natural she would learn the language of her husband. It is less realistic to think her husband would learn her language. All it shows is how the different ethnic groups are integrated
@@tvs9978 you are absolutely right, voltarians from northern volta usually have akan names. That's not the impression I got from this narrative though. Nontheless, diversity is the beauty of our culture. Thanks for your response
@@tvs9978 i will not be surprised you are an Akan. Why is that Akans like the idea of dominance.? Why do you folks see things in one dimension? Akwemus dominated who? The Ewes? Are you serious?. And southern Eʋes for that matter? Are you serious?
Why is it that you can not have any other reason to explain the names but emphatically dominance? You folks are so psychologically sick. All you think about when you open your eyes to see and and brain to think in the morning is dominance, dominance, dominance. You bunch of sick people.
I have cousins who were born in Asante region and were only given Akan Natal day names ( so instead of Adzo one was given Adjoa ) just because they were born there. Nothing to do with domination.
It could also be that these Ewes folks in this film have lived in Akan areas and so learnt Akan language and picked up those names. As you can see he and the sister speak Ga as well.
Certainly a people who have lived across the country.
The other problem too is that Akans find it very difficult learning any language therefore having a problem pronouncing things. To make life easier, other tribes will just go easy on the Akans by doing things their way because it is easier that way.
Common SE LA SI, a three syllable name can not be pronounced by these folks ( especially the Asante people ) they have to say SA LA SI. When you try correcting them to let them know that A and E are two different letters, these folks never get it so you are just forced to just excuse their ignorance and inabilities.
Why are you folks so sick with a dominance mind set?.
I know typical Akans who have given their children typical Eʋe first names ie Seyram, Akorfa, Selorm etc tell me, is it because the Eʋes dominated the Akans ? You folks will say any shit as long as it makes you feel good, no matter how nonsensical it is. You pschopaths.
This is rubbish. This film was set on Anlo land I believe. Go there and see if you will fine one Akwemu person. You sick people. Rubbish. Nonsense.
As for you group of people and your pschopathic mentality of dominance erhhh, its astaunding. Sick people.
You just get up and talk rubbish. You folks are so sickeningly amazing. Smh. Dominance indeed. Stupidness.
@@tvs9978 To remind you, I am sure you heard him say they have lived else where apart from the Anlo land..I will not be surprised that the narrator felt the need to use the Akan names/ pronunciation of the names in the video just so it is because he has live else where before.
I am sure you heard the man on Anlo land at the place where the dispute is being settled at and introduced himself as Korbla NOT Kwabena. That should tell you that the narrator just used the Akan pronounciation. I blame the narrator for that nonsense he did. We say Adzo for a Monday, Abla / Korbla for Tuesday girl and boy. Aku/ Korku for Wednesday born girl and boy.
Awo, Yawo/Yao for Thursday born girl and boy. Afi / Kofi for Friday born girl and boy.
You can have variety of these, You can have Akotor, Adzotor, Korwu etc.
You these stupid Akans are Very astounding. Foolish people. Ignorant fools.
The brother 16:15lived in a town that goes through Accra.
The dance they are doing at 24 minutes is called the Agbadza
It's weird, I'm seeing in coloured. First language spoken was Ewe "Evvé" second was Fante " Fan-ti", third was Ga.
It's the fear women and save your life for me😂😂😂😂
The words on those buses are very funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
GTV never showed such jewels.
Indeed. Instead they show modern western,indian and Mexican movies with little relevance to us.
And they be expecting us to pay TV license fees
Thank you for sharing
New sub. Great channel, awesome content.
This is cool footage
(Ewe) by spelling and English pronunciation..
(ev3) by spelling and native tongue pronunciation
24:00 Awolooo Agbadzá looo.. hmm hm!! So lovely those sunday celebrations
The good old days, How I wish the entire world should go back to it old black and white days 🤗
😂one person is being accused of casting his net over someone's economic zone. The accused got angry for being charged 20 💷 pounds for the offense...and therefore he says he'll seek an appeal even if it means going to see the queen of england Queen Elizabeth😂(am a Ghanaian from the Ewe tribe)
Interestingly lovely
Waoo great documentry
Wow, fearing of women did not start today. I saw on on if the buses that fear woman and save your life 😂
Mothers have the best ❤

Ewe dancing
I'm proud to call myself a Nyamadi ❤
Hi Mike.! Wanted to speak 🙏🏿✨ Thanks
@11:06 a chief and a group of 12 men. Christ and his disciples?
Nice piece. Shows you how easy it was for the imperialist to colonise us and even how slow our progress has been since then. We need to speed up things if we want to be at par with the west.
Yes what the imperialist did to us was wrong no doubt. But after they left what we have done to ourselves is worse. Very sad . Its time we stop pointing fingers
You mean concrete jungle in the west with lots of mental health, drug addiction, pollution, homelessness, paedophilia and individualism 😅😅
No need to be at par with the West. We're okay
Why does the west always have to be our first point of comparison? Why can’t we be at par with ourselves?
No need to speed up. We just need better policies and structures that’s in line with our beautiful culture and meets the needs of our people. Look at the West now. Don’t be deceived.
This is my hometown Blekusu -we
Never seen this on here. . .
All that was done was passing down skill,for sustaining ,and they said we were not enough,,,simplicity at its peek.
It has been spoken that the Black Afrikan Diaspora to come home NOW, ASE!
Ghana my motherland.
Imagine the modern value of coastal property...beach front homes.
❤💛💚
Thanks for the explanation. But remember you are Asante, not Ashanti.
Did Ghana use to drive on the left hand?
Yes
Yes
It was changed in the 70s
Yes
Yes like it was everywhere in the world before. All changed since the beginning of metric system. Well some idiots still didn't change
3:12 - "my father was not a bad man but he hate showing it. Reminds me of my mother and myself at times my kids friends saw me a mean and would sometimes be afraid to come around which means that she went to their house most of the time. I saw what her friends were doing and I tried to show her who they were and how they were using her to get there mother's to say that they could got different places because my daughter was tall and looked older but the funny thing was that I thought just like the other mother but I had to call and speak to this mom because I wanted to know was she saying that it was okay for their kids to go to the mall or even just walk up the street which was not but these kids were not to go but somehow they thought it was okay because some parents did know me and some didn't but because my child seemed more mature they believed the lie that the kids would tell. I would later find out about one of the parents that did not know be but still thought my daughter was s good kid and she was. My daughter started telling about things and people that were in the house when her mom was there and not the more she talked and gave the more I told her that I was not okay with it and I needed to see and speak to this mom to see for my self. I would not tell her what my daughter said in the beginning and nor did I tell her that my daughter was younger cause I wasn't thinking about that at first because I wanted to trust that wherever she went with these kids that she wood do the right thing. I would see one of the other mom's that knew from doing the community program for the kids some summers ago. She smiles at me all the time and asks how my daughter is doing, she likes her, you know you gotta be a really nice person when you see some Africans speak to you cause in the beginnings they kept their kids away form ours. The mom would ask me how old is my daughter and I will tell her and in the beginning she was shocked but somehow she forgot because her daughter was older then mine but this mom knew me and really liked my daughters ways and as time went by she got taller the more the mom's would let these kids do more things away from home. I finally had a taught with both mom's cause now we are l asking where the girls are, they caught the phones off and say rhey the phone died while we were in the park, lol, five or six girls at the park and no workable phone. At first I could get s hold of my daughter and she would tell me were she was as well as the other girls, I am so thankful these days are done and she is beginning to see who her friends are today. As she matures and I continue to talk to her she is becoming more aware of what is going on, not saying all my challenges are over because that is sometthing I have to do to keep the mind open. What does also make it easier for me is that she will be eighteen next year and I will react and respond to her differently for sure that mean when she finishes school there will be more money in my pocket to pay bills and do more for myself. I care but this is what I mean when I say it is what it is and I know and understand that my kids do not have to be perfect but they sure in the hell better shoe me that they care about themselves cause how they treat me is how I get to show them who I can be and still be good to them and love them unconditionally alligned with who they treat me but I will be doing this for the love of self and freedom of speech and the way I wanted to live. We all have Choice and my children may forget sometimes because this society is not for people of integrity and that will be used to help them see what happens when your heart is open but it ain't stop me from living life and I am still here standing. This is what I want for my children but they got to remember me and themselves.
Thought dat was joey badass
Much of Keta is lost to the sea and still threatened
And someday it happened, so did the use of DDT for fishing, galamsey and mercury for mining , the fear of the gods left and the water bodies have been exploited to our detriment.
Thought that was godfrey
The narrative at the ending was a lie. The father was ready to go and see the boats for himself. So he didnt have any problems with new things. His issue was indebtedness to the government.
Phili public library
I hope he got a ship instead of a boat...
Gotta Love Canada
This is a movie and not a real stuff ...
I thought this video was a joke, looked like Black Yougsta in the thumbnail😂
This is acting tho...
Propaganda
What do you mean
This Paints a wrong Picture! Obviously Made by Colonial Masters. I am an Ashanti Born new Manhyia Palace Kumasi Ghana. I lived also in Accra. The languages they speak is Ewes and Ga Tribe [ These are Minorities - Lifestyle of Minorities in Ghana is what they portraying which doesn’t speak for even up to 10% of the way of Life of Ghanaians ] and some Twi but the coast line lifestyle and fishermen along the coast especially around Keta volta region is not that rich. In the beginning they talked of a breakfast Akple , which i never tried in my life and a delicacy of Ewe people in Keta along the sea. THE TITTLE SHOULD BE FAMILY OF EWES & GAs ALONG THE COAST OF GHANA. The Capital Accra also a Coast line and like all countries fishermen along the sea shores don’t really make a lot of income from their occupation and are living an unprivileged Kinda lifestyle.. This is all they tryina portray plus colonial masters came for slave trade along the coast lines and they built slave dungeons along the coast line . So in short the lifestyle they know is mostly that along the coast lines which isn’t representative of all Ghana . REMEMBER THAT ..
This tribal bigotry must stop in Ghana ….. is Keta and Ga or (Accra) not part of Ghana? You guys talk as though Ghana belongs to just only Akans. The hatred and disdain you have for other tribes must stop now. How dare you! Who cares if you’ve not eaten akple before?? When the likes of your people get to govern the country they only steal … like Nana Addo is doing now ! It’s the people you call minorities that puts in their all to build the country.
You are a tribal bigot who only takes delight in taking down on other robes in Ghana!
REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A TRIBAL BIGOT!
Fool!
Useless bastard u have time to write all these nonsense yet u don't have time time to acquire knowledge. Useless idiot how much does Ashanti region contribute to the gdp of Ghana? Bastard always deceiving urselves that u are great bunch of illiterates. Foolish idiot u people don't travel so u think that village landlocked region u stay in is developed stupid fool. Is Ashanti region more developed than Accra? U fool if that's Accra which belongs to the Ga is bad in ur eyes then I don't need a seer to tell me how much of a village Ashanti region is because Accra is 100x developed than Ashanti region idiot
It's a wrong picture because your grandparents and their village were not shown. Ok.When you make your own documentary, you can entitle it whatever you want and include whatever details you choose. Nothing is stopping you.
how is this relevant?
My people, my people. Ododiooo.....
dioooooo
