Janke
"Janke" is a compilation of those stories in a blend of documentary filmmaking and vivid animated retelling. It tells the story of Rodrick: whose late grandmother's secret diary led him to the Gambia in search of a lost family heritage. Mega: a father with a troubled past of inner-city violence, crime, and police intervention, who is now juggling his reformed life in the Gambia with fathering children back in the States. And the director's mom Leislene: a newly retired single mother, who moved to the Gambia to process her grief and heal.
Nita was instrumental in working on Janke. She always made time to work on shots no matter the working hours, and her work ethic and attention to detail is unmatched. - Director Jordan C. Hendrickson.
