Synopsis

Raha’s special day comes to a halt when her anxiety (un)expectedly takes center stage.

Neefso (Breathe) is a micro-short about the everyday coping mechanisms of managing anxiety through the lens of a young Black Muslim woman. This film not only highlights unpredictable nature of anxiety but also the love and support necessary to survive and thrive.
