In August 2021 Nikki intends to complete a 5 day trek to the summit of Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the seven highest peaks of the world.
This documentary will examine Nikki’s journey to that peak over this next year and accompany her on the trek.

What About Us The Documentary
Young people changing the world
We are delighted to have been commissioned to chronicle the journey of a group of talented young musicians from Isreal, Palestine and Ireland as they are brought together to produce a live stage musical from inception to first curtain call on the world stage.
The musical is a platform for the younger generation to speak up for change while demonstrating how they can overcome prejudices and hate, with the capacity to work and socialise with other young people from opposing cultures and religious backgrounds; challenging the status quo at this decisive moment in human history.
Supported by a professional team, this original & vibrant musical which is a fusion of different cultures & influences will be constructed and then performed Internationally by an orchestra, musicians, choir, singers and dancers; a unique entertainment experience with positive messaging that expresses the desire for a change.
The documentary will be directed by the very talented Ben kavanagh and kicks off with workshops in Dublin this July and will include filming in Isreal, Palestine and Northern Ireland.
