ONE STEP
It takes one step, then another, then another.
As her country falls into authoritarian rule, Lily must smuggle Jessie across the border to freedom, before it's too late.

One Step follows Lily and twelve-year-old Jessie as they flee through forests, tunnels, and abandoned spaces after their country slips into authoritarian rule.
Intercut with their dangerous journey are flashbacks of the life they left behind, revealing Lily's ideological rift with Jessie's mother Jane, a rising government spokesperson who initially rationalizes the changes as necessary and temporary.
A haunting meditation on how freedoms erode gradually rather than all at once, One Step explores love, moral courage, and the terrifying ease with which ordinary people are asked to accept the unacceptable, one step at a time.
