@amdgfilmsMar 25"Nawi: Dear Future Me" Film Review
Nothing has shaken me like Nawi since Sound of Freedom! Let me take you back almost two months—to January 23. I was in Washington, D.C., on a mild winter day, just after filming at the March for Life. Later that afternoon, I was sitting on a train to Baltimore to catch my flight back to Chicago. I was stressed about making it on time. When I finally arrived at the airport, I rushed through security and made it to the gate just in time.

I had already seen the trailer, which gave me a great impression. Kevin had also told me about the film’s subject during our flight: child marriage in Kenya.
