The AI-enhanced version of the film Ulysses from Ghana is nearing completion. The initial draft was prepared ahead of the IV UNESCO Forum against Racism and Discrimination, which took place in Barcelona in December 2025. However, additional video messages and expert contributions are currently being integrated to enrich the narrative.
