A film by Sarah Winkenstette

A friendship born from anthropogenic loss of home: when the village where 11-year-old Ben and his family live has to give way to open-cast lignite mining, they move to the city. There, Ben meets Tariq, whose family has fled Syria. Though they start out as competitors, the shared experience of a new beginning soon welds them together at school as well as the football club.

This screening is open to all.
