Streaming superstar IShowSpeed has partnered with Breakwater Studios and Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground to bring Ben Proudfoot’s upcoming documentary “The Eyes of Ghana” to theaters for a one-night-only screening on Oct. 28, Variety can reveal exclusively. Participating exhibitors include Regal, AMC, Cinemark, select theater chains and independent cinemas.
“The Eyes of Ghana,” which premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, follows Ghanaian cinematographer Chris Hesse, who, as his eyesight declines, attempts to rescue more than 1,000 films capturing Africa’s fight for independence in the 1950s and ’60s. The tapes were hidden for decades after the 1996 overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first president and a leader of the African liberation movement.
