For ten years, Swiss director Anne-Frédérique Widmann followed Shewit, a 15-year-old girl she met who, after a long journey, arrived in Geneva in pursuit of her freedom.
The director and the young girl found each other: one wanted to give a voice to young girls in exile who are rarely heard, and the other wanted to tell her story and her journey toward emancipation.
“I think we actually chose each other," Widmann told Africanews.
