Local filmmaker and University of North Texas professor Tania Khalaf’s Journey to Hope documents the story of a kind-hearted man in Guyana who faces a wave of violent outbursts from the children in his orphanage after the government outlaws the only proven form of punishment. Hoping to find alternate forms of discipline that actually work, a group of young and unproven therapists from Texas is enlisted. Overwhelmed by children with severe behavioral problems and short on time, the group reaches the limit of their training and learns they must look past their minds and into their hearts to find a solution.

Tania Khalaf will be in attendance.
