“This film gets to the heart of the matter: how to reconnect people with themselves and with each other. As a trustworthy guide, Takeshi Matsumoto invites these children to do just that—through movement, play, ritual, and simple choreography—with gentleness and humor. The result is a palpable sense of boldness in each child, as they become more empowered to express themselves and come together in community to support each other.
By touching our hearts, the film also takes an important stand to bring public awareness to the desperate plight of these stateless children in Thailand, just some of the 10 million stateless children around the world who urgently need our care and attention.
Truly moving and inspiring, Takeshi’s film is a gem not to be missed!”
