Synopsis
Bridget is a young Ghanaian woman born with cerebral palsy, a physical disability.
She had the fortune to survive because of her exceptional mother and grandpa in a village that thought of her as a worthless if not dangerous being.
Bridget, now 25 years old, looks back and still wonders if she is worthy of living the life of a normal human person...
About Ineke Bosman
Ineke Bosman (1944) lived for over 30 years in Ghana and has a good feel for Africa, more especially the African underdog.
Earlier, in "To Be a Man is not Easy" she collected stories from Ghanaian emigrants about attempts to escape poverty by traveling the desert to Libya and beyond.
"My name is Bridget" reflects her conversations with Bridget, a young Ghanaian woman with cerebral palsy. Bridget speaks freely about afflictions as well as raising hopes in her young life. Is she a human being? And if so, can she live like a human being in a society that often thinks otherwise?
