CITIZEN KWAME is a minimalist film about travel visas. It tells the story of Kwame, an African man who wants to travel outside of his compound, but he must first get a visa from a caucasian gatekeeper who controls movements in-and-out of the house. It is only with the help of a newly acquired caucasian girlfriend that he succeeds.
