Esi the Brave
Esi es una niña ghanesa valiente que adora los monstruos, los fantasmas y todo lo que hace ruido en la noche. Cuando su familia va al Festival Kakamotobi — una vibrante celebración de mascarada en Winneba, Ghana — Esi insiste en que no le tiene miedo a nada. Pero cuando los bailarines enmascarados la rodean y se separa de Mami y Papi, Esi debe encontrar el verdadero coraje para enfrentar a los monstruos giratorios y exigir que le devuelvan a sus padres. Una alegre celebración de la valentía, los festivales ghaneses y el momento en que un niño descubre lo que significa ser verdaderamente valiente.
