COME, I’LL SHOW YOU

HOW WORDS CAN BE CATCHING

He wanted to be a scientist, a soldier and a priest – but he chose poetry. William DuBois Kumi is a young poet from Ghana who deals with a wide variety of thoughts and ideas, breaking them down word by word to create something new. Because this is what he is aiming for: using poetry to address critical and sensitive topics and to catch his listeners with the art of the spoken word. The documentary film “Koo Kumi” gives a very personal impression of the artist’s work and thinking and shows how he drives himself to ever new forms of expression.
