  • S4, Ep 4: Exiles & Exploitation - Pitcairn Islanders & Ghana’s Hand-Painted Movie Posters
    Jun 17 2026

    On this episode of the Young Pioneer Podcast, we've got a special two-part edition. First, YPT Africa Regional Manager Morgan Bourven sits down with Robert Kofi of Ghana's Deadly Prey Gallery to discuss the country's famous hand-painted movie posters, how they came about, and why they've become sought-after works of art around the world. Then, YPT Pacific Regional Manager Justin Martell speaks with YPT's local partners on Pitcairn Island, the UK's most remote overseas territory, about life on an island settled by the descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers.

    From Ghana's unique movie poster tradition to one of the most remote communities on Earth, it's an episode that takes us to two places far off the usual tourist trail.
