Director Genevieve Bailey was invited to collaborate with 14-year-old Stephanie Kurlow who dreams of being the world's first hijab wearing professional ballerina. Together they created this film which was broadcast by SBS TV during Youth Week. It was great to work with an all female crew on location in Melbourne.
Stephanie’s hopes have caught the attention of publications like CNN, The New York Times, The UK Daily Mail and Teen Vogue.
