Anita, Lost in the News
2023, Kurdish. Directed by Behzad Nalbandi.
A person who longs to leave the place where he lives is an unhappy person.” — Milan Kundera
This animated documentary, created using puppets made from newspaper clippings, is about a Kurdish-Iranian family of four who died in the sinking of a migrant boat in the English Channel in 2020. At the time of the tragedy, there were ten more people on board than the vessel could hold. One of the victims was nine-year-old Anita, from whose perspective we follow the story. But did strict laws restricting safe border crossings change her fate? And how many more victims will they claim?
