Faced with government restrictions, she found refuge in Toronto and, in a way, in Open Doors, which enabled her to develop "Pantasma", a poignant coming-of-age story that challenges notions of the enemy through animation and unique media.</p><p> </p><p>Nadean, is in Locarno as the producer of "Raised by Goats" by Gibrey Allen, a film set in pre-independence Jamaica, exploring independence as individuals and as a country.
