Liyana (2017) on Netflix

Plot summary

In Swaziland, five children who have lost their parents gather to make up a story together. A South African author and activist guides them as they invent a heroine named Liyana. In the tale they build, Liyana's twin brothers are taken from her, and she sets off after them, her pet bull at her side, meeting a series of challenges along the way. The children draw on their own memories and hopes as they shape what happens to her on the road. Live-action scenes show the group at work in Swaziland, and animated passages follow Liyana as the children imagine her adventure.
