11 Nov 2010 • Documentary, Short, History • 0h 12m
Based on the myth conceived by the Detroit-based band, Drexciya is an underwater subcontinent populated by the unborn children of pregnant African women thrown off slave ships that had adapted to breathe underwater in their mother's wombs. A portrait of an abandoned public swimming facility located in Accra, Ghana. The Riviera was once known as Ghana's first pleasure beach. A one-time extravagant Ambassador Hotel of post-colonial - early Kwame Nkrumah era, the Riviera Beach Club thrived until the mid-1970's. The Olympic-sized pool, now in a dilapidated state, is used for locals for things other than swimming.
