Brief Tender Light

By Arthur Musah. A co-production of ITVS, and co-presented with Black Public Media and Chasing the Dream, a public media initiative from The WNET Group.

At the elite MIT, a Ghanaian alum follows four African students striving to become agents of positive change back home. Even as their dreams are anchored in the societies they left, their daily realities are defined by America. Each must refine their ideas about the world and about themselves, and ultimately, how to transform youthful ideals into action as adults.
