Set in the Kenyan desert, the Kaku­ma refu­gee camp has exis­ted for twen­ty years and has grown into an unof­fi­cial city of 200,000 resi­dents. Film­ma­ker Lie­ven Cor­thouts lived and fil­med there for four years. By fol­lo­wing three tee­na­gers in paral­lel, the film shows how the hopes for a bet­ter future of the camp’s inha­bi­tants are nur­tu­red, but also how they slow­ly fade.

Before the scree­ning, you can enjoy a deli­cious meal pre­pa­red and ser­ved by the Café Monde team (€17 contri­bu­tion, inclu­ding entry to the film).
A soli­da­ri­ty bar will be avai­lable, sup­por­ting the acti­vi­ties of the BW branch of the Plat­form.
