Short Film ‘A Day in the Life: Scrap Metal Men’ Casts A Different Perspective on Agbogbloshie Narrative.

Scrap Metal Men is a 12-minute documentary set in Agbogbloshie, Ghana - arguably and often referred to as the world’s biggest e-waste dumping site, or second largest, depending on which Western source you quote. 

Stripped of narration and other standard documentary features, Scrap Metal Men director Alex Wondergem instead takes a cinéma vérité approach following a day in the life of two Dagbani metal traders - Chief and Life Owner. Through this ‘fly on the wall’ mode of filming, we navigate this landscape by following the daily lives of two ‘scrap metal men’ as they trade and sell metal through congested Ghanaian city roads and markets on wet day in Accra, bargaining and bartering for every Cedi they make. 

A Day in the Life: Scrap Metal Men is the first major documentary production by Alex Wondergem and Adu Lalouschek. Both filmmakers are of mixed Ghanaian heritage and Alex has spent the majority of his life living in Accra, Ghana. They met whilst studying for their respective B.A’s in Film & Television at the London College of Communication (University of the Arts London). Alex and Adu have worked together on various film projects, as well as starting up their own production company called Gold Storm Productions.

Often reduced to a perverted former natural habitat now wasteland, with images framing it as a near apocalyptic environment, this documentary hopes to shed light on narratives that are often obscured and allows the subjects to be visible in way that has not been seen or done before.

The Drone Scrap Program 2054

Drone Model Name: The Black Sentinel Ultra

Built in: July, 2052

Commissioned: August, 2052 Current Year: 2054

Decades down the line, Ghana started a space program that was meant to launch home-made communication satellites into space. The program ended up neglecting its main goal of launching these communication technologies but rather begun commercializing the highly sophisticated drone capabilities into illegal surveillance activities. This was very lucrative considering the volatility within the region.

The Drones were built with exquisite precision and employed the best and most creative minds in the country to pull it off. The Black Sentinel Ultra was modeled after the Sentinel Military Drone and was powered by very little crude, solar and wind energy that will allow it to stay in flight for close to 20 years. Its synthetic metal fabricated casing was designed to absorb sunlight and lightening to store power in tiny energy cells.

Revenue generated through The Program was squandered by the appointed officers from the ruling party and the case ended up at the Supreme Court. It is still being debated as to who is solely responsible for this massive USD 213.2 billion dollar financial loss to the State.

This happened at a time when Ghana had ambitions to prove to the region and the world that it was a country capable of competing with the strongest economies on the continent; Tanzania, South Africa, Nigeria & Rwanda. The economy took a downturn after taxes had been raised in an attempt to retrieve some of the monies that had been lost.

The Black Sentinel Ultra was highly successful after its first mission but negligence, illegal and unauthorized use at the control center caused it to break down beyond repair. It was kept in a make-shift hanger at the defunct Kotoka International Airport and started to deteriorate.

Scrap businesses started coming by to bid over the heavy metal pieces to sell which was very lucrative due to the industrial demand  of the high quality synthetic metal which they would melt down, mix and resell. Laying hands on the blueprint of The Black Sentinel Ultra, two creative artists came together to fix and re-test it. The restoration the derelict project currently looks promising but it is increasingly becoming very expensive to keep it going.

How Ghanaian Futuristic ‘Fashion DJ’ Steloo Turned A Street in Accra Into His Own Personal Block Party During Chale Wote.

Eclectic creative visionary and self-proclaimed Accra-based ‘fashion DJ’ Steloolive performed live on the streets of James Town for part of this year’s ‘African Electronics’ themed Chale Wote Street Art Festival.

Armed with various digital technologies, various tools and ingredients that make up part of his performance, and his passion for what he does, Steloo turned a chosen street in James Town into an outdoor dancefloor open to all and everyone. Describing himself as a “walking art gallery”, as someone who creates opportunity rather than wait for it to come to him, Steloo makes it his priority to inspire with every set which he achieves through a mash-up of visual and performance art, music and fashion. 

Energized with excitement and a fresh vision, a large crowd gathered to see Steloo in action accompanied by fellow art and fashion music-maker Yaw P (the two collaborated on the single ‘Fashion Statement’). Drawn to his energy and unique aesthetic, it wasn’t long before a circle of curious and excited onlookers turned into instant fans of the DJ. Having once said his goal was to “preach liberation through art”, it’s more than clear that that was achieved in his street set at Chale Wote.

Listen to a new mix from Steloo made in appreciation of the celebration that was Chale Wote.
