We aim to amplify unheard voices through cinematic storytelling.
Shadow of Injustice: Mother tells the story of Rozhin (65), a Kurdish mother with a premonition of her own death. In a besieged city in Turkish Kurdistan, she embarks on a final journey to visit her daughter and grandchildren. A stray dog wanders through it all, silently witnessing the human absurdity and despair in this magical-realist film.Supported by the Netherlands Film Fund, the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) and the Municipality of The Hague
We are really proud of our award-winning films and all the nominations that we received around the globe.
