SYNOPSIS

A portrait of an abandoned public swimming facility located in Accra, Ghana. A one-time extravagant Ambassador Hotel of the post-colonial - early Kwame Nkrumah era, the Riviera Beach club thrived until the mid-1970s. The Olympic-sized pool, in a dilapidated state, is used by locals for things other than swimming.
