Independent Sources: Enter West Africa Special: Ghana

On this edition of Independent Sources, we begin our two-part special called "Enter West Africa". On this edition we focus on Ghana. We see how pirated wax prints from China are affecting the country's local economy. We talk about how clothes donated from Europe and America are big industry in Ghana. We learn what a rash of grave robberies in the country have to do with a new fashion trend. Then, we find out a little more about New York City's Ghanaian community.
