Red Palm Oil: A Ghanaian Tradition

This film project, created by Asia Dorsey @bonesnugsandbotany, seeks to explore the rich historical tradition of the use and production of red palm oil and its subsequent disparagement in Ghanaian cuisine. In particular we will focus on the changing food culture and western nutrition perceptions. Throughout this film we will be exploring common perceptions about the use of the oil from multiple perspectives as well as develop an understanding of its nutritional and cultural value.
