Forty three years after the death of his grandparents, Edward Guthmann went to Cameroun, West Africa to see the remote village where they worked as Presbyterian missionaries. Illustrated with rare archival films and photographs, "Return to Cameroun" offers an intimate look at the Hopes' lives in Africa, where their five daughters played in plantain groves, went to school in a bark hut with a thatch roof and spoke the tribal language Bulu. "Return to Cameroun" examines the difficult intersection of Western and indigenous cultures, and contemplates the fragile, always mysterious fabric of family, memory and emotional inheritance.
