Documentary Showcase Presents Liyana, a Tale of Orphaned African Children Turning Trauma Into Hope
EntSun News/11026872
LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the award-winning documentary Liyana on May 31, 2024.
DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
Liyana draws upon the heart-wrenching, real-life experiences of five African orphans to create an original story about a girl named Liyana who must undertake a perilous journey to save her twin brothers.
Filmmakers Aaron and Amanda Kopp's critically acclaimed, feature-length film Liyana weaves together documentary scenes and stunning 3-D animation to bring an utterly original tale to life.
The orphans, living in a children's home in the Kingdom of Eswatini, are guided to draw on their life experiences to shape their story. The film becomes, ultimately, an inspirational look at creativity and imagination forging a path towards a bright and more promising future.
