SYNOPSIS

A refugee-run mobile photo project brings tools of self-expression to Turkey’s most vulnerable children grappling with access to school and displacement from earthquakes. The documentary unfolds from the child’s perspective as they engage with photography for the first time. The children become collaborators in the documentary, capturing their worlds through their unique filming. The film embraces the magical nature of children’s thinking and portrays them not as passive subjects of their circumstances but as playful, resilient and complex children.
