In 1979, a young South African immigrant, Kaya, defies her older brother and fights for her American dream at the disco. But all that glitters isn’t gold in this coming of age story set in the streets and havens of New York City.
KAYA: TASTE OF PARADISE is a short movie musical commissioned and produced by the New York Film Academy, and featuring Lethabo Mofomme, Okieriete Onaodowan, and Victor Verhaeghe.
