Based on true events, a story of courage, forgiveness, love, and
freedom in precolonial Ghana, told through the eyes of two women born to
vastly different fates.
Aminah lives an idyllic life until she is brutally separated from her
home and forced on a journey that transforms her from a daydreamer into
a resilient woman. Wurche, the willful daughter of a chief, is desperate
to play an important role in her father's court. These two women's lives
converge as infighting among Wurche's people threatens the region,
during the height of the slave trade at the end of the nineteenth
century.
Through the experiences of Aminah and Wurche, The Hundred Wells of
Salaga offers a remarkable view of slavery and how the scramble for
Africa affected the lives of everyday people.
