A film by Aaron and Amanda Kopp
Liyana follows a group of young African orphans who transform their personal traumas into a tale about a young girl named Liyana, whose persistence through her perilous journey to save her twin brothers becomes a source of inspiration and hope.
Liyana is a genre-defying documentary that tells the story of five children in the Kingdom of Eswatini who turn past struggles into an original tale about a girl named Liyana. The film weaves her animated journey together with poetic documentary scenes to create an inspiring story of perseverance and triumph.
