A film about skin bleaching hopes to help tackle the issue head on in Ghana. Comfort Arthur's film 'Black Barbie' is an animated account of her own coming to terms with the colour of her skin. She is not alone, for many young Africans find the option of lightening their skins too appealing, despite the health risks involved. The film has been nominated for a prestigious African Academy Movie Award. CGTN caught with up the animator at her studio in Accra.
