11 Mar 2024 14:29A very moving documentary! It's like a mix of animation and real-life adventures with these awesome children from Eswatini. The colours are so vivid, and the children using their past life experiences and trauma to create a coherent, unique story is super touching. It's all about creativity and never giving up, which is so inspiring. If you love imaginative storytelling, I highly recommend this doc.
