- 1706. The Dutch West India Company "donates" an African child to the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel. The slave boy soon impresses with his extraordinary intelligence. Sponsored by his patrons, the young African studies philosophy, medicine and law and finally receives a doctorate degree at the Universities of Wittenberg and Halle. What happens after that is part of the melodramatic reconstruction of a true lifestory highlighting the fundamental dilemma that has lived with African immigrants in the "white people's world" ever since Henry The Navigator's men penetrated the shroud surrounding Africa on the eve of the Age of Discoveries.
- Jojo Cobbinah is a teacher, translator, author and journalist. Born in Tarkwa, Ghana, he moved to Germany after his graduation from school to work there for the better part of three decades.
