NO ONE IS FORGOTTEN
by Winter Miller
FLORIDA PREMIERE
March 21 to April 27, 2025
SYNOPSIS
U.S. citizens Lali and Beng are being held prisoner in a small, dirty cement cell. Where have they been taken? How much time has passed? Are they alive? Has their story been broadcast to the world? How did they get here? What will happen to them?
​
Inspired by true accounts of the plight of captured and detained journalists and aid workers, NO ONE IS FORGOTTEN is a story about intimacy, surrender, and the will to live for someone else.
