STILL ALIVE
Mischa Prince, Director/Producer
A powerful tale of reconciliation as young Guatemalan ex-gang members join an innovative arts collective, discovering themselves through theatre, music and circus, amidst a climate of intense violence inherited from 36 years of bloody civil war. Still Alive follows the challenges and triumphs of the group as they overcome prejudices and repression targeted towards them, enduring an unexpected tragedy that sparks off an inspiring journey of personal transformation.
