Dance or Die, from birth to death

Dance or Die celebrates the determination of Ahmad Joudeh, a Syria-born dancer, who battles against war, death threats and statelessness in the pursuit for his true meaning of freedom. “I came from a place where death surrounded me, yet hope was blossoming within me and it still does, so I rise. Everyday I see people fighting for their freedom , sacrificing their lives for it, and now for the soul of Mahsa Amini. Iran is longing for freedom. Fight and rise cause the only way out is in. One day we will all live in peace.” - Ahmad Joudeh This music has been composed by Farid Sheek, he believes that Music allows you to tell a story that is bigger than words can capture Dancer/Choreographer Ahmad Joudeh Composer Farid Sheek Cello Maya Fridman Director Lacey uhlemeyer @laceyuhle Creative Director @carlyhebert1 Cinematographer @justinphamilton Assistant Camera Brian Hall Steadicam Operator @lukerihl Post Supervisor @lassloos Post House @uppercutedit Edi
