Yasmin C Rams, an alumna of the IDFA Academy and a regional representative of the German Documentary Association (AG DOK) for Hesse, is currently working on the creative documentary Go Heal Yourself. The producer and filmmaker, who in 2012 directed the short A Life in Blue, is ready to deliver her first feature-length documentary.
