Ashleigh

2017 · 4 min

A brief, heartfelt documentary portrait that leaves you rooting for its subject's determination and quiet defiance.

Overview: A moving portrait of one woman’s struggle to pursue her life-long passion of becoming a dancer. Born with cerebral palsy, and told as a child that she would never be able to study or work in the mainstream, Ashleigh refused to take ‘no’ for an answer and today is an inspiration to others.
