Johnnie Walker highlights Ghanaian and other African talents in ‘The Ones Who Keep Walking’

A feature film which showcases inspiring stories of the creators and collectives who are turning the attention of the world to Africa has been premiered.

The film dubbed The Ones Who Keep Walking is a collabrative work between Johnnie Walker, the world’s best-selling-Scotch, and Forbes 30 under 30 filmmaker, Amarachi Nwosu.

The film reveals how fresh creative energy, sheer determination, and a pioneering spirit are bringing authentic African expression to the attention of the world.

It features more than 20 defiantly optimistic voices across Africa including Legendary photographer, James Barnor (Ghana), Bose Ogulu AKA Mama Burna (Nigeria) manager-mother to global superstar and Johnnie Walker partner, Burna Boy, and self-taught artist Nana Danso Awuah-Asante (Ghana).

This new feature film is part of an ongoing global roll-out of the next chapter in their iconic Keep Walking campaign and a follow-up to the release of The Man Who Walked Around the World in November 2020.

Additionally, it sets out to explore what the next 200 years of Keep Walking can look like and explores what happens when people can liberate themselves creatively, and the rich vibrant world it creates when there are those freedoms.

That spirit of defiant optimism and the legacy of Keep Walking – two little words that have been inspiring people across the world for more than 20 years – has never felt more important than they do just now.”

She said “We’re delighted to have partnered with Amarachi Nwosu to share these incredible stories through The Ones Who Keep Walking. The Ghanaians featured in the documentary are pioneers who have taken bold steps and have inspired others, and we are so proud to take this journey with them”.
