E-Wasteland (2012, Ghana / Australia, Dir. David Fedele, 20mins):
Every year, between 20-50 million tonnes of e-waste (electronic waste) are generated worldwide. This film presents a visual portrait of unregulated e-waste recycling in Ghana, West Africa, where electronics are not seen for what they once were, but rather have become.

Stop the Noise (2010, Ghana, Young Film Makers Workshop, 6mins):
The no-nonsense patrol team responds to an intriguing environmental problem in Ghana, noise pollution. Is there a solution?

Environmental Patrol Strikes Again! (2008, Ghana, Young Film Makers Workshop, 6mins):
The no-nonsense patrol team responds to another environmental crisis in Accra, this time, the dumping of refuse and waste at the Korle Lagoon, one of Accra’s most polluted sites.
