Synopsis

The Way to Hawassa is a story of faith following the journey of a grieving mother, her pastor, and his wife, as they travel from Northern California to an orphanage in Hawassa, Ethiopia. Once there, their story intersects with a little girl named Lantu, whose untimely death results in the creation of a home for orphaned children with disabilities. What follows is a powerful story of redemption and hope, as these two young lives, that were cut so short, continue to have a lasting legacy through children who carry a loss of their own.
