On the Screen at LTV Studios will present Footsteps on the Wind & No Fear, No Favor on Friday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m.

WOMEN RISING: STORIES OF STRENGTH AND CHANGE, curated by filmmaker and Chair of the Brooklyn College Film Department Annette Danto, is a captivating film program that celebrates the resilience, courage and unwavering determination of women both in front of and behind the camera.  The film is being shown in honor of Women’s History Month and the cinematic journey showcases women from diverse backgrounds whose journeys inspire hope for the future and change for the better.

FOOTSTEPS ON THE WIND follows the plight of Noor and her little brother, Josef as they journey far away from home, orphaned from a devastating earthquake. The story highlights the tragic stories of unaccompanied child refugees.

NO FEAR NO FAVOR illuminates the wrenching choices faced by impoverished Africans who live on the front lines of Africa's poaching crisis. People here fight the internationally fueled illegal wildlife trade through Community Conservancies that protect the region’s wilderness and generate new livelihoods for future generations.

"Like many films, this one has been a labour of love, and our intention is for it to create a ripple effect that will spread understanding and hope through the art of film. Because we intend it to be used as a storytelling therapy tool for anyone who has experienced loss or displacement, it was important for us to work with psychologists and refugees in workshops so that the story is told in a sensitive way based on truth and can resonate in both a universal and personal way - a delicate balance to strike! Having experienced the trauma of the refugee experience through my own family history, it was essential to get the tone and imagery to resonate with the plight of so many children globally who have become refugees - whether it be the result of war, climate change, poverty or natural disaster. Inspired by Sting's song "Inshallah", which he has kindly donated to our film, we wanted to tell the story of refugees from a fresh point of view."- Maya Sanbar, Director
