Drexciya (2010 film)

Drexciya[1][2] is a Ghanaian 2010 short documentary film directed and produced by Akosua Adoma Owusu in association with California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).

Drexciya[4][5] portrays an abandoned public swimming facility located in Accra, Ghana set on the Riviera.

The Riviera at one time was an upscale development, consisting of luxury high-rises and five star hotels.

This short documentary was inspired by afro-futurist myths propagated by the underground Detroit-based band Drexciya.

They suggest that Drexciya is a mythical underwater subcontinent populated by the unborn children of African women thrown overboard during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
