Aaron and Amanda Kopp's 2017 movie Liyana, eight years in the making,[2] is a mix of documentary and animated fable. A 'story within a story', about a young girl rescuing her twin brothers from kidnappers, emerges from a storytelling workshop in Likhaya Lemphilo Lensha (New Life Homes) orphanage in Kamfishane, Shiselweni Region. Liyana is executive-produced by Thandiwe Newton, who heard about the project through filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.[3]
