The Price of Hope Compilation
My first score for a feature, "The Price of Hope" by Caroline Karoki. This documentary grapples with the gruesome topic of female genital mutilation (FGM) in Karoki's native Kenya. Per the director's request, despite at times deepening the darkness of the story, the score mainly serves to provide an uplifting contrast to the horrific topic. As the name suggests, this is a film about hope and I hope that my score did its job of elevating that necessary feeling.
