Join us for the second film of our 2-part screening in partnership with the Consulate of Germany and Goethe Institut Mumbai, this Thursday 31 march!
Imad’s Childhood documents the life of young Imad as he deals with the trauma of living two and a half years in captivity. Imad, his little brother Idan, and their mother Ghazala are released into a displaced persons' camp in Kurdistan. Not yet five, Imad has already spent over half his life enduring terror, abuse, and "training" meant to make him heartless. Speaking only Arabic, he cannot communicate with his family, and the only means of expression at his disposal is violence. He hits and spits, and his only game is pretending to be an ISIS fighter who shoots, blows things up, and kills. This poignant film follows him as he takes hesitant steps on the hard road to recovery, guided and held by his mother, his grandmother, and an incredibly supportive therapist.
