Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this drama, a European businessman heads for Ghana where he plans to modernize the country by building a high-tech plastic furniture factory and by introducing them to computers. Once there, he finds the locals resistant to his imperialist notions of modernization. They oppose him at every turn, and eventually he comes to understand why. He then settles down and begins appreciating the local customs.
