CHILDREN DEPORTED: FARIDA
(16 minutes) Afghanistan/Norway
[watch trailer]

SUNDAY 10/30, 1:00 PM (Session 22)


Director: Ragnhild Sørheim
Producer: Thorvald Nilsen

Description:
Nine-year-old Farida was deported to Afghanistan in February of 2015, after almost four years in Norway. A country she has never been to before, with a language and a culture that is foreign to her. She misses her friends, her school and the safety of the small town Dokka. The short documentary emphasizes the human consequences of the Norwegian asylum policy. Despite strong ties to the country, several children have been deported from Norway over the past few years. In situations like these, where the children are the most innocent and vulnerable, their voices deserve to be heard. In this portrait, Farida gets to tell her story for the first time. We follow her new life in an unknown Kabul, where she talks about her longing for Norway and the future that so abruptly was taken away from her.

Biography:
Ragnhild Sørheim is a freelance filmmaker and director educated in film and media at the University of Bergen and Hong Kong Baptist University.
