Support "New Eyes" Kickstarter Campaign

"New Eyes" by talented director and writer Hiwot Admassu  is a short coming of age story about a thirteen-year-old girl who lives in rural Ethiopia. She battles with her sexuality that clashes with her conservative society. It's about self-discovery and accepting her womanhood.

"New Eyes" already has a European broadcaster attached, ZDF/ARTE. The project you help to create will be seen by millions.

Hiwot Admasu Getaneh, who learned the art of storytelling from her grandmother's traditional stories, often takes an experimental approach to her filmmaking.
