THE WALK - 35 min
Orphaned when their biological parents died tragically, Meseret Cohen & her siblings were given to an orphanage in Ethiopia, a country with a history of famine, war, and instability. At the age of thirteen, her prayers were answered when she was adopted by a family in Busselton, Perth Australia to start her new life. Many would see this as redemption, but the walk to discovering her true self has just begun. Her resilience & courage to keep going has inspired many, this viewing is not to be missed!

“I love the process of capturing a story. From the interview stage where we hear all about it and guide along the way... all the way through to filming it and bringing it together in the edit. The most rewarding part of all is seeing how our storytellers are encouraged by their film story - especially those who have grown in confidence as they enter their next chapter.”
