Synopsis

Esperança had to flee Angola with her mother after her father was taken away for launching an investigation into a corrupt political party. In this short film she recounts her experience of arriving in France, the process of finding refuge and the struggles she faced as she tried to adapt into a new culture and life. This striking hand drawn animation offers genuine insight into the experience of a young refugee and space to discuss navigating change from a unique perspective.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
