Ayita's Dream

Worth the watch. Ayita's Dream is a wonderful testimony and proof of what hard work and dedication can bring. Artistic in itself as it follows the life of a female in the arts (dancing), the short film is beautiful in both imagery and message. Female empowerment, and furthermore human empowerment, Ayita's Dream is a feel-good piece that brings hope and spirit to the soul and will dance its way into your heart.

Big Thanks to both the filmmakers and the team over at Lon Haber for making this feature possible!
