ROAMING AROUND portrays the lives of migrated children trying to make their way in the Ghanian capital on their own. The camera captures their astounding faces, their innocence, their desperation, their suffering and their beauty. This is a strong, sincere and emotionally charged film about survival and a lost childhood.
