Is it possible to explain the refugee crisis to children? Do these real-life stories surpass the limits of cruelty of our collective imagination? When all is said and done, what do we choose to tell of Our World?
"Do Bosque para o Mundo" tells the story of Farid, an Afghan twelve-year-old boy, with a story that could have been that of so many other boys, if his mother hadn't sent him to Europe, to a safe place. Farid is a refugee.
"Do Bosque para o Mundo" confronts us with toughness and courage. Confronts us with the story of a boy, between life and death, and makes us cast a deeper look at our own lives.
