Project Status: fundraising stage,
pre-production trailer in process

Amy was an ordinary art student in midwest America, until an unexpected trauma forces her to face herself as she never could have imagined: as a person with AIDS. Her paradigms shattered, she embarks on a mission to make a difference in the world and leave her mark.

Amy's four closest friends join her on this journey. They call themselves Aniimae. Together, they travel to orphanages, ghettos and shanty towns. Where they find an empty wall, they transform it.

At these walls, Amy meets people who change her life forever. Painting side by side with orphans, gang members AIDS victims and her closest friends, Amy discovers the resilience of the human spirit, her own and others.

In At the Wall, journey with Aniimae on their final mural project together, in the KwaZulu Natal province of South Africa, an area devastated by the HIV/AIDS crisis. There, to breakdown walls of stigma and despair, they'll build one... a memorial, where, brush stroke by brush stroke, they give life to the stories that shape us, the humanity that connects us.

“The more I realize that I’m quickly running out of minutes here, the more I understand…we were made to be known and loved. We were made to have stories…real stories full of both the joy and pain of living. We were made to share our stories with the world…

The best thing anyone can ever give me is their story...and the most I can ever offer someone is a true glimpse of my soul, hoping they will see more than I can ever say about my faith and why I live the way I do.”
