Straightforward doc on Ghana's 2008 election. It is one of the few countries in Africa to transition to some semblance of democratic rule but as is the case everywhere chicanery and corruption are always ready to foul the process.

Still, they largely avoided violence and that was seen as a success. They will learn, as former president Jerry Rawlings hints at, that once the international economic vampires sink their teeth into your country's vitals you will never escape.
