Award Winner One In debuts Today in Film Fest

Vasha Narace’s short film, One In, won the Dutch Golden Stone Award for Best Short Fiction in 2016.

This film will have its Caribbean premiere at the T&T Film Festival which runs until September 26.

One In, a 15-minute short which addresses a sensitive social issue, portrays the poignant and dynamic relationship of an 11-year-old girl and her parents who take in their recently orphaned teenage nephew.
