Nour – You Can Find Light Everywhere

The young boy is from Afghanistan. His name means light. He arrived in Greece as a refugee in 2009. He was only 8 years old. His mother had given him to be raised by his aunt. He crossed Iran and Turkey to get to Greece. He slept in boats, in town squares, in guest houses. When we first met him in Athens, he was collecting scrap iron from the garbage with his “adoptive” father. Our camera follows his life, how he is growing up, his dreams, his thoughts, what hurt him in the past, his future. Right now he is searching for his bicycle, which was stolen from him. At twelve years old today, he behaves and talks with confidence, as if he is ready for life. Shooting took place in Athens in 2011 and 2012.
