Chad fully immersed himself as he filmed a documentary there about the local castle boys for 5 months. He shares incredible videos and pictures from his experience eating, gathering, and hustling with them. You might be surprised how safe Ghana sounds, but his few run-ins with danger would make anyone shake in their boots. Anywho, help Chad get back to Ghana. Akyirii!
