An African in Greenland
T茅t茅-Michel Kpomassie鈥檚 unique memoir about his journey to the coldest climes on the planet. Dramatised by Rex Obano.
T茅t茅-Michel Kpomassie, a teenager in 1950s Togo, is about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. After a heart-stopping encounter with a snake in a coconut tree, T茅t茅-Michel happens upon a book in his local library. It shows him a land of ice and snow, 4000 miles from home. Immediately spellbound, he runs away from home and starts his intrepid journey to Greenland.
This is the story of T茅t茅-Michel鈥檚 voyage of discovery, and his relationship to a country, and a people, that helped him find a new understanding of home.
