In 2015 Abdulla Kurdi lost his wife Rehanna (35) and their two sons, Ghalib (5) and Alan (3), while crossing the Mediterranean Sea in search of a new home. Alan Kurdi made the news when he was found face down dead on a beach after the inflatable boat he and his family were on was overturned by large waves.
The Kurdi family were fleeing the war in Syria. They were willing to risk their lives in an attempt to find a new place to call home. Their choices were either to stay in Syria and die, or risk it all on the open sea for a chance of a better life. This film uses an interview with the father describing his horrifying experiences, which is juxtaposed with footage of a 3yo british golden toddler dancing on a british beach. The film is a permanent reminder that children belong to all of us and no matter the advantages or nationality, we have a collective responsibility to protect them.
