Synopsis

A Swazi girl embarks on a dangerous quest to rescue her young twin brothers. This animated African tale is born in the imaginations of five orphaned children in Swaziland who collaborated to tell a story of perseverance drawn from their darkest memories and brightest dreams. Their fictional character’s journey is interwoven with poetic animation and observational documentary scenes to create a genre-defying celebration of collective storytelling.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with directors Aaron and Amanda Kopp.
