Ammara Brown said it takes commitment to refrain from taking drugs.
“I think a lot of the time, the struggle with drug addicts and drug abuse don’t want to change.
“The mindset of relying on the substance catches them. Those who change are ready to change.
“Shingi’s story is so inspiring because it’s someone coming from grief. Confusion turns to a life of crime out of desperation.”
The film speaks to most of the youths because it shows them that they can change their lives and turn a new leaf.
“This story is meant to bring youths back to the real world.
“If you want to change the world you should start with changing is yourself and everyone around you, I am so excited by the play Anastasia,” she said.
