Destination Ghana - Pim

DocuFilm

Pim grew up in Mechelen with a foster family that later adopted her. Her biological mother struggled with a mental illness and, as a teenager, gave Pim a letter containing her biological father's name and phone number. She also received a postcard from a man in Ghana. At the time, she paid no attention to it, content with the life she had.

Now, as an adult, she is facing an identity crisis. She wants to understand where she comes from, how she ended up in a foster family, what happened to her parents, and why her father could not raise her himself. With only the old letter and the postcard as clues, she seeks help from a friend and filmmaker, Adams Mensah, who has Ghanaian roots and experience with similar stories.

Their search begins with her adoptive parents in Mechelen and leads them to Ghana, where her father comes from. It becomes a journey into her origins, her family, and the hope of finally discovering her true identity.
