  • Embark on a remarkable journey with us as we venture to Lemon Beach Resort in Elmina, Ghana, alongside our precious baby. In this captivating travel vlog, we delve into the captivating history that lay dormant in the sands of time, waiting to be uncovered.
    Join us as we explore the untold stories that tie Ghana's past to Indonesia's Java War with Dutch colonizers. A visit to Elmina's Java Museum unveils a riveting piece of history involving Ghana's contribution of soldiers who were recruited to fight in the conflict, becoming renowned as the Black Dutchmen or the Belanda Hitam. This incredible history, nearly buried and forgotten, comes to life through our expedition.
    As we soak in the beauty of Lemon Beach Resort, we also immerse ourselves in the rich cultural tapestry of Elmina. The echoes of bravery and resilience resonate as we uncover the forgotten valor of the Black Dutchmen who once hailed from these shores.
    This video is not just a travelogue, but a passionate journey to resurrect hidden narratives, celebrate unsung heroes, and shed light on a piece of history that deserves remembrance. Our aim is to share this powerful story with the world, honoring the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs.
    Join us on this expedition to Lemon Beach Resort and Elmina's Java Museum, where history and travel intertwine to create a truly unforgettable experience. Let's uncover the layers of time together and rediscover the inspiring tales that connect Ghana and Indonesia in ways we could never have imagined.

    How's the dog and baby are getting along? When children get older it gets better, because they can communicate their feelings. Less guess work...

      I don't know if I can calculate, I was learning new things (motion graphics) and while trying to complete it so maybe 36-48 hours cumulatively. It has taken me about 3 weeks to edit

    I've always thought your voice best suited historical narration. This was a great production. As a history buff, I've wanted to visit the Java Museum for a while. It's nice to see that the trip would be worth it. There was also a son of the then Asantehene who was sent, as part of the deal, to the Netherlands to study Mining and supposedly he was the first African to have a formal mining degree but unfortunately he didn't return.

    • @fremekwame
      @fremekwame  Год назад

      Yup. Kwasi Boakye. In fact, the Agreement was to send two Sons. One didn't return. There's a link to the full research paper I got most of the information from in the description

      It was either that or paying so much more for towing service. We chose the lesser evil chale
