(West Chester, PA) Well of Dreams is a story of courage, determination, and ultimately, triumph. Imagine a world where the mere act of fetching water for your village can have dangerous, even lethal consequences. This is the world in which Anne Okelo lived, in the small village of Angiro in Kenya. But Anne has big dreams and eventually finds a way to save the village girls and is determined to free them from the bondage of traditional societal restrictions. Well of Dreams is a film which takes you outside of your comfort zone and lets you come face to face with daily traumas and challenges unknown in the Western world. But it is also a story of hope, when the clarity of one's vision and the unshakeable faith of one's heart come together.
