What Born in Syria Is About
The documentary follows seven Syrian children and was filmed in nine different countries: getting out of the war, the crossings controlled by trafficking gangs, the hardness of the sea, the waiting at borders, and finally Europe. What the film actually says is this: arriving is not the end of the journey but the start of a second one, and what stands in front of the children now is holding on in a new country that is often not glad to have them. Hernán Zin directed it. The account is built through the eyes of the children rather than the mouths of adults, and the film manages that without turning it into emotional exploitation. It was named best documentary at the Forqué Awards and was nominated for a Goya. The single sentence in the record tells barely half of what the film does.
