Synopsis
Maya’s Song follows a young girl navigating questions of identity and belonging within her own family. Though Maya feels secure at home, strangers repeatedly question why her brown skin differs from that of her white parents, culminating in a painful moment of public misrecognition. Rather than withdrawing, she transforms her experience into a song that gives voice to her feelings. Tender yet powerful short film in its quiet simplicity, blending documentary storytelling with animation to capture Maya’s resilience and imagination, and the transformative power of self-expression to reclaim her story.
