The synopsis for An African Election reads as follows: … a remarkable documentary that grants viewers unprecedented access to the anatomy of Ghana’s 2008 presidential elections. Capturing the intrigue of electioneering, the intensity of the vote-counting process, and the mood of the countrymen whose fate lies precariously in the balance, director Jarreth Merz’s coverage unfolds with all the tension of a political thriller, revealing the emotions, passions, and ethical decisions that both threaten – and maintain – the integrity of the democratic process.

The film premiered in Amsterdam, at the IDFA (International Documentary Film Festival) where it won the Audience Award.
