Woven

Oh my, this film had my emotions running free. I cried, I laughed, I just didn't expect to be so moved right from the beginning. I just can't get enough of this film and will be watching again with my friend tomorrow. 2 thumbs up!

I don't even know where to start. What an extraordinary movie with extraordinary cast. What started as a drama showcasing both the American and Ethiopian culture in the midst of one of the worlds modern states NY, to leaving me on the edge of my seat.. urging to see what next-wowww! What a script, what an incredible cast and crew. And Salome- the main character!!! PURE QUEEN! Directing and playing a major role is not for everyone- but you did that!!!! Ammmazinggg! The way the story is developed and shows how each and everyone of us are linked to each other in ways we can never imagine was also mind blowing.

It also stimulate the brain to think outside the box on how life is and what truly is important by showing us how things are bound to take a significant shift with a fraction of a second unexpectedly. It shows us what true love is. Shows us the power of forgiveness and how similar we are though there is a significance difference in the culture we are celebrate.

This movie is mush watch for all.

It is thrilling to see our culture beautifully highlighted all throughout this film. It is truly an honor to see my people and culture displayed accurately in Woven and I really hope to see more films like this in the near future. The movie Woven showcases the life of an Ethiopian born women, Elenie Tariku, who hopes to keep her roots alive while on the path of fulfilling her dreams. The film Woven is a must-see and will literally have you at the edge of your seat.

Woven is about an Ethiopian immigrant family that come to live in the United States and meets a Caucasian family. Their lives get intertwined after a tragedy occurs. Shortly after the accident, the two families think that their cultural differences might play a substantial role in their encounter, but soon realize that humanity is connected when it comes to emotions like pain, loss and forgiveness. The film appeals to all human beings as a universal story and is about ways in which we as human beings experience difficult things in life and heal through them. Woven has such a beautiful message and I truly encourage others to see this film.

I had the privilege of seeing Woven at the LA Film Festival and left in AWE! What an incredibly touching movie filled with beautiful culture, complex characters and deep layers. At a time when the world can feel painfully divided, it's refreshing to know that a Christian and Muslim Director came together to create such a poignant film that left me inspired. There were so many beautiful messages WOVEN into the film that transcend ethnicity and religion. I left encouraged to listen to my inner voice, speak my truth and be present with my children. The film showed me that healing happens through forgiveness and connects us as human beings. We are all Woven. We are all one. It's a MUST SEE!!!
