From practicing barefoot on the streets of Lagos to performing on stage in England, twelve year old Anthony Madu leaves his home in Nigeria to study at one of the most prestigious ballet schools in the world. Anthony, who had barely left his neighborhood in Lagos, finds himself thrust into a new world where his wildest dream is suddenly within reach. His journey is a story of extraordinary obstacles, courage, growth, and ultimately, his search for belonging.
"The story of Anthony Madu, a 12-year-old boy from Lagos, Nigeria, whose talent for ballet opens the doors to Elmhurst, one of the most prestigious academies in the world, far from his home and family. A beautiful documentary that, beyond its parallels with titles like Billy Elliot, is a story of love, perseverance, and the courage of a viral sensation fighting for his dream."
