From 2007 to 2011, Boynton and her small two-man crew shadow Kosmos Energy and visit both Nigeria and Ghana to look at how oil production has affected the countries individually. Geographically close, the divide seems to be put into perspective through the lens of Kosmos Energy’s CEO Jim Musselman who is hoping to mine oil by way of his political connections to Ghana.
But Musselman’s desire to win and profit is challenged by the Deadly Underdogs, a Niger Delta street gang who want to see a share of the billions of profit that will surely come to the region.
