Life in the Ghetto was an award-winning book from the 90s and it was written and illustrated by a then 13 year-old Anika D. Thomas. Anika is now reviving this classic book with a modern twist by turning it into an exciting new indie film. This modernized film adaptation project will turn this book into a modern indie movie and will give a new life to this amazing story. To produce and release this indie film, the Pennsylvania based American indie filmmaker is welcoming everyone to help him in raising funds and support in a recently launched crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
“Life in the Ghetto is a powerful and moving story about a young girl growing up in the Hill District neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.” Said Anika D. Thomas, the author of this book, while introducing this project to the Kickstarter community. “I wanted to share the challenges and triumphs of life in the ghetto and show that having a positive attitude and determination can help you overcome obstacles.” He added. According to the filmmaker, this project has the potential to be a powerful and impactful film that will inspire audiences of all ages.
