Kochoko - Beautiful Girls (Dir: Alex Gorosh)
I shot this music video in a slum of Accra, Ghana. The whole shoot took about 4 hours, it was nuts.
I was in the area working on a doc project for a company called Gizmogul. The slum is called Agbogbloshie and it's so high in crime and pollution that it's nicknamed 'Sodom and Gomorrah'. It's a swampy area that is known for disposing of (burning) electronic waste. You can see that finished piece here: vimeo.com
My friend/local fixer in Ghana had a friend who lived in the neighborhood and happened to be a pretty dope rapper. He agreed to help me with the shoot and in exchange, I shot this music video for him. Every few minutes, he would lead me to the next location where drunk neighbors and aggressive prostitutes were waiting to be his background dancers. It was crazy and very fun. Hope you enjoy.
