A Year of Hope

A Year of Hope

20th TDF: Greek premiere

In the Philippines, every third child becomes is a victim of abuse and thousands of minors live on the streets. The teenage protagonists of this purely cinematic story have the chance to rebuilt their lives, by staying for a year in a rehabilitation center. As we watch them recount their past, we witness their journey towards emancipation. A firm, devastating representation of a complex reality, and at the same time a brave manifesto on children’s rights.
