CHILDREN OF THE LABYRINTH

In the touching short film ‘Children of the Labyrinth,’ nine parents who have fled their countries – all stranded in Greece – have written personal letters to their child traveling with them. In these letters they share how they feel, what kind of future they wish for their children, but above all, how much they love them. In their adult lives, these letters will give the children a better understanding of what happened then. In 10 or 15 years, this project will have a follow-up in which the children will write a letter to their parents, reflecting on their own experience. In this workshop, the makers of the short film, Philip and Marieke, will share fragments of the film as well as insights on the project and how the parents and children are doing now. They will also invite you to have a first go at writing a short letter yourself. What is your story?
