The film “Well of Dreams” is a story of courage, determination and, ultimately, triumph. Imagine a male-dominated world where the mere fact of fetching water for your village can have dangerous, even lethal consequences. This is the world in which Anne Okelo lives, 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 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, of how much can be accomplished when one’s dream and vision are clear and unflagging.
