The series that uses archive material to explore the cultural impact of 20th-century science. Black Power
In 1957, Kwame Nkrumah set Africa ablaze with his vision of a new industrial and scientific age. Technology on a grand scale would, he promised, launch the "dark continent" into an ambitious, modern future. At the heart of Nkrumah's dream was the gigantic Volta dam, generating enough electrical power to transform West Africa into an advanced
Utopia within a single generation. To finance it, he turned to a giant American multinational with its team of shrewd, sophisticated lawyers. But as his grand experiment took shape, it brought with it dangerous forces which
Nkrumah could not control. Producer Daniel Reed
