I Like It Here

Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! “I Like It Here,” follows a young man named Takyi, who struggles with his identity as a hybrid of two cultures. Born and raised African-American speaking only English, he also belongs to the richly diverse West African country – Ghana. Attempting to reconnect with his terminally ill Grandfather (who he’s named after), he realizes how out of place he is in a society that should be his inheritance. In one life changing taxi ride, we get to the root of his cultural displacement and why he feels he needs to establish a bond with his homeland and his people.
