Dawta

Synopsis

DAWTA has a power she is unaware of, until she is propelled through time and space to a utopian planet. Inspired by family history of trans-racial fostering and concepts of inherited trauma, DAWTA is a story of escaping the past through the imagining of an unknown future, an unknown hope.
