PCFF takes the Festival on the road this April!

4/13 @ 6:00 pm

We are pleased to bring this award-winning film to Newport! The therapeutic power of storytelling is at the forefront of this genre-defying documentary.

Swaziland is a tiny country with the world’s highest HIV infection rate. A tragic consequence are the estimated 200,000 orphans now needing care, many traumatized beyond just losing their parents. At one orphanage, healing takes place through collective story-writing borne from the children’s personal experiences. The result is the powerful story of Liyana, a brave and determined girl who sets out to save her abducted twin brothers from many forms of peril.

Ages 10+ (strong thematic elements: HIV/AIDS, descriptions of child abuse, alcohol abuse, and situations of peril)

Cost: Member Adult $8 / Non-member Adult $10, Member Youth $5 / Non-Member Youth $7
