Sultana’s Mehendi 2013

Directed by Isabel Herguera

This animated girl’s portrait is the result of a workshop with Mehendi artists in India that was part of the project development of the feature-length film “Sultana’s Dream”. Detailed henna drawings illustrate 15-year-old Sadhya’s tale. Her family are unable to fulfil her wish to become a teacher. She practices as a seamstress to be able to finance her studies herself one day.
