We Do What We Can is a film that looks at one of the miracles in the journey of diaspora Africans. It follows two twenty-something newlywed immigrants who have a child when they don't have much of a place to live. The film follows the couple as they reflect on their ambitions, while striving to make a way - both for themselves and for their offspring - to be all that they see themselves to be.
Directed by Kwaku Awuku-Asabre, We Do What We Can leans on a strong ensemble — Ben Sarpong-Broni, Mary Nyambura, Jaylon Akligo Reynolds — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2019.
