The film profiles the difficult subject of Trokosi, the ongoing sexual mutilation and enslavement of West Africas young girls and women. The plot consists of the enslavement of a young girl within the confines of a shrine, outside a small village in Ghana and her horrific ordeal through sexual abuse and genital mutilation.

The expansion, from the social to the political aspect, is delivered in the film with a dramatically poignant effect in the conclusion, as the medium of film assumes the idiosyncrasies of television, thereby revolutionising the rules of cinematography.

After the screening, Samuel Quansah declared I am astonished by the excellent direction, quality of production and general performance!. Others have stated that this is more than a film and Punctured Hope is the cinematic pride of Africa. Members of the Producers Association were unanimous in saying that this is how films have to be made.

The screening was followed by a press conference coordinated by Assistant Director and Journalist Tony White Meribe and attended by local press, radio and TV journalists from The Observer, Daily Dispatch, Crusading Guide, Gye Nyami Concord, P&P Magazine and Arthur Hughs of Uniq FM and Broadcast Journalist Frank Aidam of Ghana National TV. The press officials congratulated Director Bruno Pischiutta who answered related questions about the production and his artistic input.

Journalist Arthur Hughs of Uniq FM National Radio was granted an exclusive interview with Pischiutta, Trifu and Obed. To listen the 10 minutes radio interview go to:
